The People's Republic of Siqe is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.196 billion Siqeans 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, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Siqean economy, worth 42.0 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 13,142 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, money grows on trees, new legislators take a week-long class entitled "Keeping Your Job: How to Avoid Offending Leader", and all work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siqe's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Siqe is ranked 161,874^th in the world and 55^th in The Apolean Frontiers for Most Primitive, scoring -60.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
