The Democratic Republic of Sechiole is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Milada Janíček with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.347 billion Secholeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, with Healthcare, Education, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sechiole City. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Secholean economy, worth 307 trillion Secholean Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,725 Secholean Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, teenage male videogamers often suffer repetitive strain wrist injuries, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and the new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sechiole's national animal is the Secholean Mountain Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sechiole is ranked 286,296^th in the world and 6,180^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
