The People's Democratic Republic of Seratiago is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Boof Bonza with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.574 billion Seratiagoans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Kathleen. The average income tax rate is 96.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Seratiagoan economy, worth 435 trillion dongles 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,265 dongles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, St Kathleen's flashy holiday light displays can be seen from space, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seratiago's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is apathy.

Seratiago is ranked 5,419^th in the world and 181^st in The East Pacific for Healthiest Citizens, with 19.21 bananas ingested per day.
