The Empire of Saechosun is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 633 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 32.2%.

The strong Saechosunian economy, worth 41.8 trillion won a year, is broadly diversified and 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 66,110 won, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, and officials pull all-nighters to check immigrants for potential links to terrorists. 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.

Saechosun is ranked 62,618^th in the world and 31^st in Geopolity for Most Primitive, scoring 44.75 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
