The Empire of Saechosun is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 696 million Saechosunians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanyang. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The strong Saechosunian economy, worth 43.1 trillion won a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,929 won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Bereaved families are assigned a new housemate the day after the funeral, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', only adults may purchase violent video games, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saechosun's national animal is the magpie, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Saechosun is ranked 214,997^th in the world and 96^th in Geopolity for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -4.47 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
