The Kingdom of Sedunn is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Vimmru II with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 14.931 billion Sedunners hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Grovne. The average income tax rate is 79.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sedunnic economy, worth a remarkable 1,357 trillion tenns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,922 tenns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The reams of paperwork accompanying any electronic item are a recognised contributor to national deforestation, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, in court almost every witness is a hostile witness, and the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedunn's national animal is the blackbird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sedunn is ranked 205,634^th in the world and 7,985^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -103.18 on the Hayek Index.
