The Federation of Sebasticook is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 439 million Sebasticookians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nokomis. The average income tax rate is 36.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sebasticookian economy, worth 34.8 trillion Sebasticook Chaplets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,291 Sebasticook Chaplets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader's reputation is hard as nails, doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and toddlers are wielding machine guns in the name of national defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sebasticook's national animal is the Black Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sebasticook is ranked 209,374^th in the world and 4,422^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
