The Empire of Saechosun is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 709 million Saechosunians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanyang. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saechosunian economy, worth 41.8 trillion won a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,992 won, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Bereaved families are assigned a new housemate the day after the funeral, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', only adults may purchase violent video games, and hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saechosun's national animal is the magpie, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Saechosun is ranked 19,763^rd in the world and 20^th in Geopolity for Safest, scoring 113.96 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
