The Republic of Seanes Rudernous is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 21.128 billion Seanes Rudernousians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Seanes Rudernousian economy, worth a remarkable 4,940 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 233,832 florins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 795,427 per year while the poor average 50,670, a ratio of 15.7 to 1.

The law forbids arson, murder, and low-quality cheese, food voucher forgeries are causing headaches for the police, new homeowners go furniture hunting with crowbars, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime is pervasive, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Seanes Rudernous's national animal is the leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is flowers.

Seanes Rudernous is ranked 78,680^th in the world and 9^th in Boston for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,804.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
