The New Republic of The Seanviet Union is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Wallace Bell with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.345 billion Seanviets are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pavilion. The average income tax rate is 71.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Seanviet economy, worth 605 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 180,935 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, reporters sent to cover suspected UFO visits come back with stories about quilting bees, no one born in The Seanviet Union can fix a leaky faucet, and chickens roam the streets freely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Seanviet Union's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is LDS.

The Seanviet Union is ranked 15,647^th in the world and 1,128^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
