The Deer Hunters of The Sedge is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.668 billion Sedgeans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The all-consuming Sedgean economy, worth a remarkable 1,731 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 76,385 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 386,038 per year while the poor average 8,408, a ratio of 45.9 to 1.

Tourists flock from around the world to see The Sedge's famed 'rainbow slums', people often get liposuction to reduce their air fares, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, and streaming video is considered to be a myth by most citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Sedge's national animal is the Deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Sedge is ranked 56,478^th in the world and 42^nd in Founderless for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 69.9 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
