The Republic of Secks is a fledgling, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Secksians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The tiny, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.4%.

The strong Secksian economy, worth 329 billion Decks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 54,852 Decks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem. Secks's national animal is the Checks.

Secks is ranked 328,225^th in the world and 193^rd in Declansburg for Largest Populations, with 6.00 million capita.
