The People's Republic of Sekhmet SAFT 18 is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, cynical population of 3.745 billion Sekhmet SAFT 18ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Sekhmet SAFT 18ian economy, worth 288 trillion brains a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,037 brains, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
