The Rogue Nation of Serpents Subterfuge is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 40.635 billion Serpents Subterfugeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galicula. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Serpents Subterfugean economy, worth an astonishing 13,927 trillion dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 342,742 dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,932,158 per year while the poor average 6,934, a ratio of 422 to 1.

Thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, cigarettes are dead-cheap, and education for the poor is learning to ask "do you want fries with that?". Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Serpents Subterfuge's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Curruption.

Serpents Subterfuge is ranked 329,179^th in the world and 15,452^nd in Balder for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring -24.08 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
