The Progressive Union of Seeker Alpha is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dale the Honorable Skeptic with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 34.697 billion Seeker Alphans 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 Sagan. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seeker Alphan economy, worth a remarkable 6,746 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 194,434 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Riot police are stationed around paintings of violent protestors, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, and "The Pride of the Seeker Alphan Skies" boasts an impressive 17 propellers and runs on turnip oil. Crime is totally unknown. Seeker Alpha's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Unitarian Universalism.

Seeker Alpha is ranked 317,144^th in the world and 58^th in Texas for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
