The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's not a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 32.691 billion Sedgistanis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockall. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Sedgistani economy, worth 866 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,492 pounds, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 168,794 per year while the poor average 1,713, a ratio of 98.5 to 1.

It's a comma comma comma comma comma rebellion, the government has completely eliminated all childcare programs, the national sporting identity is represented by a talking burger and a singing smartphone, and children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sedgistan's national animal is the greyhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sedgistan is ranked 292,016th in the world and 27th in The Moon for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -75.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
