The Oh My GOD! What were they thinking! He's a MODERATOR! of Sedgistan is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sedge with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 24.601 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 is solely concerned with Education. 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 520 trillion pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. Average income is 21,171 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Most people think algebra is something a mermaid wears, one can walk from one side of Rockall to the other without setting foot on Sedgistani soil, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, and cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them. 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 170^th in the world and 1^st in The Moon for Fattest Citizens, with 95.01 Obesity Rate.
