“Unity, Diligence, Prosperity”

The United Kingdoms of Sesotrihn is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 7.141 billion 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 concentrates mainly on Defence, although Law & Order and Education are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 81%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and Sesotrihn's army is full of two-metre tall super-soldiers. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sesotrihn's national animal is the ferret, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the phaser turret.

Sesotrihn is ranked 2996th in the region and 43,214th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
