The Enchanted Forests of Sempera is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Dovahkiin with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, museums and concert halls, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.25 billion Semperans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elfhame. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Semperan economy, worth 827 trillion Mushrooms a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 194,629 Mushrooms, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Aging citizens are celebrating the end of the 'Early Bird War', those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sempera's national animal is the Honey Badger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sempera is ranked 3,241st in the world and 4th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 9,239.56 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
