The United Federation of Serlain States is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Premier Konarisin Senyahak with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.542 billion Serlains hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oremlyn. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serlain economy, worth a remarkable 1,611 trillion selzyts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 188,706 selzyts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Serlain emissions at all, and farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serlain States's national animal is the Serlain Snowy Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hookism.

Serlain States is ranked 70,534^th in the world and 37^th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Populations, with 8.54 billion capita.
