The Federation of Sergodva is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 639 million Sergodvans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seyba. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sergod economy, worth 25.7 trillion diats a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,240 diats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sergodva's national animal is the Sergodvan Winter Fox.

Sergodva is ranked 126,234^th in the world and 13^th in The Great Monarchical Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 966.66 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
