The Republic of Setulan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Rustov Maxellian with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 39.669 billion Setulanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Setulan Prime. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Setulanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,582 trillion marcoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 65,093 marcoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, the government violently surpresses separatist movements, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Setulan's national animal is the duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Setulan is ranked 2,702^nd in the world and 1^st in Limitless Universe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,848.89 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
