The Matriarchy of Sedek-Cantus is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mother with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 2.248 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 large, 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 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sedek-Cantusian economy, worth 157 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 70,205 Boonbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mother claims no responsibility for what Mother's government does, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, all beauty contests have been banned, and workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a 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 181,372^nd in the world and 1,777^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.12 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
