The Federal Republic of Sevortoj is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 84 million Sevortojians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sevortojian economy, worth 1.42 trillion dollars 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. 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 16,914 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Sevortojian ambassadors, an increasingly villainous series of sports coaches are demanding the national mascot's true identity, colleges adhere to rigid ethnic quotas for admissions, and Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sevortoj's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sevortoj is ranked 19,322^nd in the world and 773^rd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 114.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
