The Empire of Seitan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 2.873 billion Seitanians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The strong Seitanian economy, worth 125 trillion deniers a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 43,743 deniers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,571 per year while the poor average 2,698, a ratio of 105 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and explosive diarrhoea is not just a colorful phrase. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Seitan's national animal is the elephant, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Seitan is ranked 235,481^st in the world and 5^th in The Satanic Temple for Largest Black Market, with 259 billion Standard Monetary Units.
