The Federal Republic of Providemist Seclusa is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Chancellor Benjamin Contreraz with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.696 billion Seclusans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neueswerth. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Providemist economy, worth 863 trillion Seclusan Marks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 183,833 Seclusan Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Terrorists who are 17th cousins with the ex-wives of half-brothers of citizens are now exempt from the immigration ban, giant beards and handlebar moustaches are increasingly popular, ships are encouraged to deliberately run aground onto Providemist beaches, and foreign musicians that Chancellor Benjamin Contreraz dislikes are turned away at the border. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Providemist Seclusa's national animal is the Magellanic Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Providemist Seclusa is ranked 6,583^rd in the world and 1^st in Pacific Western Alliance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 495.88 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
