The Confederacy of Sevvania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nathan Zachary with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 34.178 billion Sevvanians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sweetwater. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sevvanian economy, worth a remarkable 2,042 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,761 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Journalists giggle uncontrollably while reporting the nation's drug bonfires, executions are marked by quiet dignity and maybe a final round or two of whist, it is considered unpatriotic to learn a foreign language, and older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sevvania's national animal is the black eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sevvania is ranked 238,932^nd in the world and 1^st in The Borderlands for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 26.89 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
