The Gary stu of Seto Ryuu is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.538 billion Seto Ryuuans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Seto Ryuuan economy, worth 506 trillion marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,421 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone wants to be on the guest list for diplomatic parties, late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, Leader's perky ego is the talk of the town, and a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seto Ryuu's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seto Ryuu is ranked 196,533^rd in the world and 1,894^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Lowest Crime Rates, with 57 law-abiding acts per hour.
