The Republic of Selfgradatude is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by president Donald Trump with a fair hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 16.147 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.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selfgradatude City. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Selfgradatudean economy, worth 892 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is 55,270 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

The parliament building has installed a revolving door, demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields. 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 145,023^rd in the world and 8,818^th in The North Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 14.77 Cheeks Turned Per Day.
