The Pro-Sessina Fempire of Sessnia is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Doctor Elena Morozova with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.35 billion Cessnians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dariss. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sessnian economy, worth a remarkable 5,143 trillion Tallons a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 335,070 Tallons, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,935,770 per year while the poor average 27,672, a ratio of 70.0 to 1.

Hay has been added to school cafeteria menus, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, netizens fiercely argue over who loves Doctor Elena Morozova more, and chalkboards are replaced with billboards in the classroom. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sessnia's national animal is the Elk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sessnia is ranked 83,500th in the world and 84th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 66.06 on the Human Development Index.
