The Democratic Rising Republic of Seing Don is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sokka Shiomi with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.887 billion Seing Donians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Law & Order, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tengsan. The average income tax rate is 68.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Seing Donian economy, worth 68.3 trillion sens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 36,189 sens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aggressive promotion of global warming puts polar bears on thin ice, the government is spending billions of sens on a fancy space probe to find a planet that may not even exist, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, and the "government funding" steroid is all the rage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seing Don's national animal is the ibis, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Shadonsan Faith.

Seing Don is ranked 105,511^th in the world and 112^th in Starlight for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 33.48 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
