The Republic of Screrefennae is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Jutta Urpilainen with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 3.518 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Equality and Social Welfare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helsinki. The average income tax rate is 92%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, main battle tanks stalk the woods of Screrefennae in search of Bears, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown. Screrefennae's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Mark.

Screrefennae is ranked 429th in Europe and 116,212th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -4 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
