The Treaty of Sevres is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.343 billion Sévriens 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 tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Defense and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The very strong Sévrien economy, worth 834 trillion francs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 62,556 francs, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 189,366 per year while the poor average 16,079, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Movie references are legally admissible in court, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, Leader has just been declared ruler of Sevres in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Sevres's national religion. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sevres's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sevres is ranked 232,190^th in the world and 41^st in Cities for Safest, scoring 33.14 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
