The Republic of Selfgradatude is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by president Donald Trump with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 18.927 billion Selfgradatudeans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selfgradatude City. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Selfgradatudean economy, worth a remarkable 1,073 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is 56,722 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students and teachers are regularly stopped and searched for symbols of religious affiliation before class, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, in a fit of passion president Donald Trump has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Selfgradatude's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Selfgradatude is ranked 135,886^th in the world and 7,015^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.83 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
