The Matriarchy of Sedek-Cantus is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mother with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.94 billion Sedek-Cantusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kalkhain. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sedek-Cantusian economy, worth 263 trillion Boonbucks 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 66,838 Boonbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, at least 1% of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs budget goes to Mother's wardrobe, and every school is receiving a brand new eraser. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sedek-Cantus's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sedek-Cantus is ranked 41,015^th in the world and 531^st in 10000 Islands for Most Developed, scoring 69.16 on the Human Development Index.
