The Republic of Seanes Rudernous is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, vat-grown people, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.762 billion Seanes Rudernousians 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 enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 94.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Seanes Rudernousian economy, worth a remarkable 3,891 trillion florins a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 246,865 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.
The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, the government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and local officials love to claim the protection of their Big Brother. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seanes Rudernous's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is flowers.
Seanes Rudernous is ranked 69,421st in the world and 13th in Boston for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
