“Dry and Spiky”

The Unicorn Glades of Seerfir is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by Cody Janzadar with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 10.91 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Public Transport. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spynho. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Information Technology and Tourism.

Crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, protests are legal but strictly supervised, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, and political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seerfir's national animal is the thorny devil, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the alicorn.

Seerfir is ranked 1st in the region and 52,651st in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens.
