The Republic of Selfgradatude is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by president Donald Trump with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 15.796 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 — prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Environment, and Education also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Selfgradatude City. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Selfgradatudean economy, worth 872 trillion dollars a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 55,262 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 62,308^th in the world and 3,353^rd in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 64.05 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
