The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 30.71 billion Sedgistanis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockall. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Sedgistani economy, worth 796 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 25,945 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 183,874 per year while the poor average 1,221, a ratio of 150 to 1.

In its new More is More campaign the government advertises obese men and women posing coquettishly with baked goods to spare their blushes, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, and grannies get pulled over for knitting pullovers while driving. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sedgistan's national animal is the greyhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sedgistan is ranked 158,222nd in the world and 19th in The Moon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 811.19 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
