Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Kingdom of Seythennia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by King Joseph with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 16.162 billion Seythennians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Vincent. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Seythennian economy, worth a remarkable 2,940 trillion seysmark gildens a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 181,936 seysmark gildens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with King Joseph, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Seythennia to be bombproof, the Seythennian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and King Joseph is quite hard to get a hold of. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seythennia's national animal is the kiwi, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Seythennia is ranked 3,476^th in the world and 94^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 660.34 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
