The Ancient Shimmering Wyrm of The Seeker of Power is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by God Emperor Elegarth with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, anti-smoking policies, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.101 billion Huggerists are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Midgard. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Seeker of Powerian economy, worth an astonishing 10,998 trillion Hug Coins a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 313,346 Hug Coins, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

An aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, the country has been 'going shopping' by annexing nearby nations for their resources, and workers have their fruitcake and eat it too. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seeker of Power's national animal is the Hugger Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

The Seeker of Power is ranked 2,416^th in the world and 69^th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 137.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
