The People's Republic of Sekantar is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister James Grey with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.914 billion Sekantarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Carents City. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sekantarian economy, worth 406 trillion Eurorubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,593 Eurorubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The inchworm that measured the marigolds is six feet under, government election advice reads like a restaurant menu, the army lures cannon fodder with promises of a college education, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sekantar's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sekantar is ranked 15,046^th in the world and 169^th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Cultured, scoring 97 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
