The Republic of Sedia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 245 million Sedians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sedian economy, worth 14.9 trillion Rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,665 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian villagers starve by the time Sedian officials even file the appropriate paperwork needed to help them, people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, being dead no longer has any benefits, and fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedia's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sedia is ranked 31,544^th in the world and 766^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 18.96 average smiles per day.
