The Republic of Seditious Bastet is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its hatred of cheese. The hard-working, cynical population of 8.104 billion Seditious Bastetians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.5%.

The Seditious Bastetian economy, worth 340 trillion debens a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is 42,021 debens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sushi is sold on the black market, the government has adopted a more thrifty attitude to administrating the country's needs, Leader has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, and Leader is the self-declared God of all Seditious Bastet. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seditious Bastet's national animal is the cat, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Seditious Bastet is ranked 174,142^nd in the world and 6^th in Horrible Badness for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 32.14 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
