The United Federation of Serlain States is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Premier Konarisin Senyahak with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.117 billion Serlains enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oremlyn. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serlain economy, worth a remarkable 2,301 trillion selzyts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,950 selzyts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Serlain emissions at all, farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Serlain States's national animal is the Serlain Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hookism.

Serlain States is ranked 43,319^th in the world and 10^th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,996.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
