The Great Republic of Segesta is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Cosimo II with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, digital currency, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.704 billion Segestans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Segesta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 89.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Segestan economy, worth 682 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 184,132 Crowns, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Segestan ambassadors, forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations, evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right, and newspapers are celebrating Cosimo II saving over a million cats from trees. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Segesta's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Monotheism.

Segesta is ranked 4,842^nd in the world and 236^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 117.26 law-abiding acts per hour.
