The Republic of Sieci is a small, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning horse population. The compassionate, democratic population of 29 million Siecians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The developing Siecian economy, worth 811 billion euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,991 euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, light entertainment shows are light on actual entertainment, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sieci's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sieci is ranked 295,400^th in the world and 170^th in Britannia for Highest Average Incomes, with 27,991.44 Standard Monetary Units.
