The Jingoistic States of Seculara is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 550 million Atheists 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fallen Frisco. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.8%.

The powerhouse Secular economy, worth 70.2 trillion Sigils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,580 Sigils, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seculara's national animal is the Pterodactyl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Seculara is ranked 12,785th in the world and 13th in Fallen Nations for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,586.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
