The Democratic Republic of Sechiole is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Milada Janíček with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.433 billion Secholeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, outspoken government prioritizes Administration, although Healthcare, Education, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sechiole City. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Secholean economy, worth 315 trillion Secholean Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,202 Secholean Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sechiole's national animal is the Secholean Mountain Rabbit, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sechiole is ranked 30,362^nd in the world and 1,115^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 217.98 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
