The People's Republic of Ssejekistan is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Torgo Jileshtu and Baradai Valisheyu with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.105 billion Ssejeks are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Torban. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Ssejekistani economy, worth 544 trillion lucres a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 132,641 lucres, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, most people learn to drive on crash courses, there's no such thing as bad publicity, and shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes. Crime is totally unknown. Ssejekistan's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ssejekistani Polytheism.

Ssejekistan is ranked 241,956^th in the world and 45^th in Deep Storage for Most Armed, with 0.13 Weapons Per Person.
