The Democratic Rising Republic of Seing Don is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sokka Shiomi with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.73 billion Seing Donians 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, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Defense, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tengsan. The average income tax rate is 67.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Seing Donian economy, worth 63.8 trillion sens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 36,858 sens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass, justice is blinding, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, and aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seing Don's national animal is the ibis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Shadonsan Faith.

Seing Don is ranked 115,535^th in the world and 289^th in Starlight for Highest Poor Incomes, with 27,469.74 Standard Monetary Units.
