The Democratic States of Sedernatted is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9 million Sedernattedians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The very strong Sedernattedian economy, worth 597 billion pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,389 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,482 per year while the poor average 10,946, a ratio of 24.5 to 1.

A new "thought police" branch is being developed, every week is blindness awareness week, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sedernatted's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sedernatted is ranked 269,999^th in the world and 22^nd in One Power for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.76 kickbacks per hour.
