The Republic of Setner is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Federal Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.308 billion Setnerians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setner City. The average income tax rate is 46.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Setnerian economy, worth 517 trillion Setnerbucks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 70,794 Setnerbucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, concussed Bearball players cannot remember their lineup position, and a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Setner's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Setner is ranked 133,901^st in the world and 3^rd in Lyrali for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,180.19 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
