The United Federation of Sebasticook is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Andrew Jameson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.481 billion Sebasticookians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nokomis. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sebasticookian economy, worth 181 trillion Sebasticook Chaplets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 122,587 Sebasticook Chaplets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens have reported seeing strange rays of light emanating from the moon, a third of Sebasticookians are e-certified CEOs, newspapers are celebrating Emperor Andrew Jameson saving over a million cats from trees, and sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations. 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, and its national religion is Agnosticism.
Sebasticook is ranked 284,395th in the world and 5,438th in The North Pacific for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 48.4 Workforce Participation Rate.
