The Federal Republic of Sepraza is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 109 million Seprazans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sepish economy, worth 9.24 trillion Seprazan dineroes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 84,785 Seprazan dineroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government snoops on private internet connections, immigrants who don't like the taste of Sepish Turnip Chips are immediately deported, colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Sepish Liberator", and pushy mums tell their kids to be doctors and engineers but steer them away from being penniless lawyers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sepraza's national animal is the Lynx, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sepraza is ranked 129,554^th in the world and 2,231^st in The North Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 37.37 Effective Tax Rate.
