The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's not a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 32.459 billion Sedgistanis live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken individuals keep a keen eye out for any attempt to organize such a thing, and ruthlessly crush it. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rockall. Income tax is unheard of.

The large but stagnant Sedgistani economy, worth 860 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,508 pounds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 185,500 per year while the poor average 1,301, a ratio of 142 to 1.

Exports of live cows arrive pre-roasted, ports have ground to a halt as no boat can reach them without trespassing, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sedgistan's national animal is the greyhound, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sedgistan is ranked 307,473rd in the world and 26th in The Moon for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1 law-abiding acts per hour.
