The Blue Wastelands of Serenicy is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Serene Justice with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 24.702 billion Serenes 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 prioritizes Industry, although Education and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mekkgenaire. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Serenicyian economy, worth a remarkable 3,046 trillion Polar Crowns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 123,321 Polar Crowns, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 451,889 per year while the poor average 23,840, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Panthers with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped, private law firms are unheard of, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, and believers must practice religion behind church doors lest the government smite them with a mighty fine. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Serenicy's national animal is the Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Carlinism.

Serenicy is ranked 66,146^th in the world and 3,347^th in Osiris for Most Corrupt Governments, with 27.88 kickbacks per hour.
