The Cafe Worker of Seshima Rui is a mammoth, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The cynical, devout population of 9.034 billion Seshima Ruians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Seshima Ruian economy, worth 614 trillion yen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 68,025 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, the Communist Party claims that selling things for profit isn't necessarily capitalism, and weird kids who eat bugs are breaking the law. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seshima Rui's national animal is the dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Seshima Rui is ranked 317,058^th in the world and 3,592^nd in Remembrance for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -9.8 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
