The People's Republic of Sevid is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 108 million Sevidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sevidian economy, worth 1.30 trillion Ndias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is 12,041 Ndias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

On-duty Air Sevid flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, calls to prayer are the newest dog whistles, the government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, and when flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sevid's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sevid is ranked 253,600^th in the world and 2,110^th in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
