The Watermelon Republic of Sebatopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Watermelon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, rampant corporate plagiarism, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.826 billion Watermelons are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watermelon City. The average income tax rate is 96.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Watermelon economy, worth a remarkable 5,053 trillion Watermelons a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 466,794 Watermelons, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,227,642 per year while the poor average 6,090, a ratio of 694 to 1.
Seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the voyages of obsolete star-trekking satellites on deliberate escape orbits are only just beginning, and commuter vessels have trouble staying afloat due to increased passengers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sebatopia's national animal is the Capybara, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Church of Melon.
Sebatopia is ranked 2,445th in the world and 7th in Eladen for Most Cultured, scoring 240 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
