The Watermelon Republic of Sebatopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Watermelon with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.03 billion Watermelons are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watermelon City. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Watermelon economy, worth a remarkable 5,235 trillion Watermelons a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 474,655 Watermelons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,303,085 per year while the poor average 6,135, a ratio of 701 to 1.

People who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply, the restriction that you must be over 1.1 metres tall to ride a carnotaurus has recently been waived, and hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sebatopia's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Melon.

Sebatopia is ranked 4,553^rd in the world and 11^th in Eladen for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,024.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
