The Republic of Seisapjiplot is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.213 billion Seisapjiplotians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.8%.

The all-consuming Seisapjiplotian economy, worth 128 trillion arils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,893 arils, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 320,072 per year while the poor average 27,278, a ratio of 11.7 to 1.

The new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seisapjiplot's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Seisapjiplot is ranked 295,769^th in the world and 1,910^th in ArilCards Inc for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 30.85 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
