The Theocracy of Severla is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.224 billion Severlans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Defense is also considered important, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Severlan economy, worth 205 trillion qaltas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,718 qaltas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,603 per year while the poor average 13,631, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Severla's national animal is the chital, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Severla is ranked 291,967^th in the world and 13^th in Metropolitan Corvinia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -4.47 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
