Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Setner is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 493 million Setnerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Administration, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setner City. The average income tax rate is 37.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Setnerian economy, worth 33.6 trillion Setnerbucks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 68,106 Setnerbucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody is forced to join the armed forces, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, children aren't allowed to chew their pencils until they get home from school, and adverts depict men giving birth while cursing the women who got them into trouble. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Setner's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Setner is ranked 35,955^th in the world and 2^nd in Lyrali for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,517.69 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
