The democratic, devout population of 18.31 billion Seekers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 53.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Seeker economy, worth 364 trillion Fruits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 19,916 Fruits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown. Mother of All Settlements's national animal is the Bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mother of All Settlements is ranked 77,999^th in the world and 1^st in Mecca for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.84 law-abiding acts per hour.
