The Borderlands of Sedryn is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.675 billion Sedrynians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 29.4%.

The Sedrynian economy, worth 326 trillion Petals a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,488 Petals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedryn's national animal is the Gas, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sedryn is ranked 143,744^th in the world and 114^th in ainulindale for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.54 law-abiding acts per hour.
