The Republic of Secret Base is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its disturbing lack of elderly people and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 8.186 billion Secret Baseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Secret Basean economy, worth 354 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,200 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Childhood friends of Leader are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", and the needs of the living outweigh the needs of the dead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Secret Base's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Secret Base is ranked 204,601^st in the world and 4,777^th in eta for Most Secular, with 15.64 Atheism Rate.
