The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's not a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 37.822 billion Sedgistanis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockall. Income tax is unheard of.

The enormous but stagnant Sedgistani economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 27,597 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 191,523 per year while the poor average 1,391, a ratio of 137 to 1.

Sales of trenchcoats are on the rise, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, and the invisible hand of the market wipes babies' bottoms. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sedgistan's national animal is the greyhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sedgistan is ranked 147,158^th in the world and 18^th in The Moon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 803.96 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
