The People's Republic of Sevid is a mid-sized, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 79 million Sevidians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 73.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Sevidian economy, worth 900 billion Ndias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 11,394 Ndias, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, voters are one of the nation's top imports, and body doubles and armed bodyguards escort witnesses to and from courtrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sevid's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sevid is ranked 121,978^th in the world and 968^th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 619.65 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
