The Most Serene Utopian Republic of Horacellum is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Sovereign and Six Divine Saints with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 4.534 billion Seersfolks are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seer's Crown. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Horacellumian economy, worth 873 trillion Elniys a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 192,651 Elniys, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
