The Democratic States of Seeker Alpha is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 907 million 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.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 68%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.
Hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in Seeker Alpha's many privately-owned prisons, artists are pillars of society, organ donation is compulsory, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seeker Alpha's national animal is the badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the dollar.
Seeker Alpha is ranked 132nd in the region and 31,074th in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
