The Apostolic Collection of The Sequel is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, flagrant waste-dumping, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.351 billion Sequelians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, with Administration, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Industry isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Deck. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The very strong Sequelian economy, worth 80.3 trillion Territorial Talers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 59,452 Territorial Talers, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 229,575 per year while the poor average 10,574, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

The "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Sequelians any less frightened, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of The Deck, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, and teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sequel's national animal is the Territorial Doggo, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Sequel is ranked 267,240^th in the world and 21^st in IxChange for Highest Poor Incomes, with 10,574.32 Standard Monetary Units.
