The Watermelon Empire of Sebatopia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Watermelon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.114 billion Sebatopians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watermelon City. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sebatopian economy, worth a remarkable 6,753 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 478,514 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,336,648 per year while the poor average 6,204, a ratio of 698 to 1.

Keeping the lights on keeps the lights on for increasing amounts of Sebatopians, Watermelon City consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, a rogue brutalist can cement their town in the past, and people with hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia faint upon diagnosis. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sebatopia's national animal is the Watermelon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Watermelonism.

Sebatopia is ranked 3,816th in the world and 218th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,920.55 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
