The Dictatorship of Szei is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Uszelot Riszei with an iron fist, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ubiquitous missile silos, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.498 billion Szeians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usze. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Szeian economy, worth 709 trillion Swes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 283,982 Swes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Warfare increasingly resembles a video game, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, and sushi is sold on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Szei's national animal is the Octopus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Szeiruchism.

Szei is ranked 112,049^th in the world and 17^th in The Axis of Evil for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,970.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
