The Yellow Owl of Serconas is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Empress Myranaha D'Arcevon with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, rampant corporate plagiarism, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, humorless population of 22.567 billion Serconians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aracana. The income tax rate is 100.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Serconian economy, worth a remarkable 8,778 trillion Kohmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 388,996 Kohmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, trespassers entering Empress Myranaha D'Arcevon's office are immediately vaporized, most people attending churches are maintenance workers, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serconas's national animal is the Great Barn Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Perpetual Cycle.

Serconas is ranked 1,129th in the world and 56th in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 99.98 Effective Tax Rate.
