The Empire of Saechosun is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 665 million Saechosunians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanyang. The average income tax rate is 36.8%.

The strong Saechosunian economy, worth 41.9 trillion won a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,011 won, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Just as students finish their homework it's time for school, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saechosun's national animal is the magpie, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Saechosun is ranked 209,559^th in the world and 91^st in Geopolity for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -3.74 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
