The State of South-East is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.459 billion South-Eastians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong South-Eastian economy, worth 719 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,727 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 320,497 per year while the poor average 3,117, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. South-East's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

South-East is ranked 213,455^th in the world and 603^rd in United States of America for Most Primitive, scoring -91.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
