The Republic of Severia and Starodubschina is a massive, genial nation, ruled by právnik George Uglečko with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.612 billion Sevarians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winewsk. The average income tax rate is 90.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Severia and Starodubschinan economy, worth 653 trillion lavs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 141,698 lavs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Winewsk to enjoy their national art, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, and the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Severia and Starodubschina's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Severia and Starodubschina is ranked 178,647^th in the world and 94^th in Declansburg for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 1,018.25 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
