The Grand Duchy of Sefton-Piper is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 593 million Sefton-Piperians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwiatkowski. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The powerhouse Sefton-Piperian economy, worth 59.3 trillion Heimers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,003 Heimers, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sefton-Piper's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sefton-Piper is ranked 24,282^nd in the world and 18^th in New United Kingdom for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,843.29 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
