The Republic of S4e03 is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 687 million S4e03ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong S4e03ian economy, worth 52.8 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,916 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'sing-a-long with Leader' album is a popular souvenir, aides are afraid to ask if Leader wants a cup of tea or coffee, the beauty of coastal towns is marred only slightly by all the closed-down storefronts, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. S4e03's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

S4e03 is ranked 21,030^th in the world and 154^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,378.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
