The Democratic Republic of Sechiole is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Milada Janíček with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.433 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, although Healthcare, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sechiole City. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Secholean economy, worth 319 trillion Secholean Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,965 Secholean Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

This year's hottest fashion trend is the Lese Majeste collection, artificial intelligences seeking exciting work are overcome with ennui, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons. 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 30,321^st in the world and 1,115^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 218.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
