The Commonwealth of Seprum is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President William Lore with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.014 billion Seprumians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seprum City. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seprumian economy, worth 753 trillion pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,222 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Anti-vacs campaigners claim the government is inserting weird devices into their bodies, lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seprum's national animal is the swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Seprum is ranked 16,420^th in the world and 10^th in Equiterra for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.82 law-abiding acts per hour.
