The Theocracy of Severla is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.177 billion Severlans 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 is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, with Defense also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The very strong Severlan economy, worth 202 trillion qaltas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 63,718 qaltas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 218,603 per year while the poor average 13,631, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Severla's national animal is the chital, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Severla is ranked 41,160^th in the world and 1^st in Metropolitan Corvinia for Fattest Citizens, with 14.48 Obesity Rate.
