The Space Republic of Secluse is a massive, safe nation, ruled by High Council of Secluse with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 1.335 billion Secluseans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Joidratown. The average income tax rate is 74.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Seclusean economy, worth 69.5 trillion Food Rations a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 52,034 Food Rations, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, television executives are interested in turning High Council of Secluse's zany home life into a sitcom, people are bored of easy crossword puzzles, and the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Secluse's national animal is the Human, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Secluse is ranked 275,631^st in the world and 5,424^th in the Rejected Realms for Nudest, with 45 cheeks per square mile.
