The Imperial Power of Theoden Sebastian is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 19.573 billion Sebastian subjects are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Theoden Sebastianian economy, worth a remarkable 2,291 trillion Rubes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 117,074 Rubes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure, divorce is illegal, athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, and witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Theoden Sebastian's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Theoden Sebastian is ranked 214,642nd in the world and 168th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Armed, with 0.24 weapons per person.
