The Union of Sefat is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Peoples Council with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.172 billion Sefats hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sevalsk. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sefatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,269 trillion Nilims a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 245,451 Nilims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Sefat Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', debates on whether toilet seats should be left up or down are increasingly commonplace, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, and a sudden shout of "surprise!" does not herald a party for teachers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sefat's national animal is the Long-eared owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sefat is ranked 2,100^th in the world and 45^th in Europe for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 98.56 Effective Tax Rate.
