The House-Less Allied States of Seassran is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Chairman Suroth Dytefu with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, lack of airports, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.664 billion Seassranians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Endch. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seassranian economy, worth a remarkable 1,617 trillion Chreis a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 86,684 Chreis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every day is laundry day, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and the same 18664 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Chairman Suroth Dytefu's every word on Twitcher. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Seassran's national animal is the mouse, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Seassran is ranked 270,947^th in the world and 8^th in La Hira for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -10.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
