The Matriarchy of Setastan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The cynical population of 2.959 billion Setastanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 71.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Setastanian economy, worth 18.7 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry. Average income is 6,306 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Setastan's national animal is the porpoise, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Setastan is ranked 134,069^th in the world and 762^nd in Pacifism for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,933.46 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
