The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's not a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, flagrant waste-dumping, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 32.52 billion Sedgistanis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockall. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Sedgistani economy, worth 862 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,516 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 186,337 per year while the poor average 1,284, a ratio of 145 to 1.

Only the richest get to see out of their windows, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sedgistan's national animal is the greyhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sedgistan is ranked 182,027th in the world and 17th in The Moon for Most Stationary, with 74.556723117 days.
