The Union of Secular Soverign Republics is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Xavier with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.813 billion Secular Soverign Republicsians 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyber City. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Secular Soverign Republicsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Rupeeses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,847 Rupeeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, generals have trouble barking orders over the sound of thundering artillery, and when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Secular Soverign Republics's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Secular Soverign Republics is ranked 121,569^th in the world and 10^th in New Western Atlantic for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 39,932.9 Standard Monetary Units.
