The District of Secedica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Liard with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 41.218 billion Secedicans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Secedican economy, worth a remarkable 1,816 trillion aurums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,072 aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Liard has just been declared ruler of Secedica in an international press conference, crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence, Liard is convinced that other nations can simply be "junked" (Secedica has found 2 easter eggs), and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Secedica's national animal is the bovina, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Secedica is ranked 164,627^th in the world and 6^th in The Bandits for Lowest Crime Rates, with 59.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
