The Herrscher der Vernunft of Severisen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Septenary with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cynical population of 22.968 billion Sevvies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aelholt. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient sevish economy, worth a remarkable 2,128 trillion Shades a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,651 Shades, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
High school bands practice by moonlight, the sevish football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Severisen's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Severisen is ranked 110,721st in the world and 2,026th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 78.72 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
