The Libertarian States of Archipel Sempi is a huge, genial nation, ruled by President Jeanquis Vainquis-Saintouis with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 946 million Sempi hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dura Boru. The average income tax rate is 56.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sempi economy, worth 98.5 trillion Quesas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 104,070 Quesas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, women who walk into the ladies' changing room are accused of being Peeping Toms, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime is totally unknown. Archipel Sempi's national animal is the Seagull, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Archipel Sempi is ranked 50,366th in the world and 845th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.55 law-abiding acts per hour.
