The Hivemind of The Seid is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by everyone with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, vat-grown people, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 30.773 billion minds 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of our brains. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Seidian economy, worth an astonishing 14,102 trillion thoughts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 458,288 thoughts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Everyone's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, the Coast Guard is pioneering a quixotic program to train fish, international commentators accuse the nation of aggressive cultural imperialism, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. Crime is totally unknown. The Seid's national animal is the individual, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is us.

The Seid is ranked 315,405th in the world and 435th in Refugia for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -21.86 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
