The Yellow Owl of Serconas is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Empress Myranaha D'Arcevon with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 26.081 billion Serconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aracana. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Serconian economy, worth an astonishing 10,518 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 403,292 Kohmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, books are so highly regarded in Serconas that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and where there's smoke there's the Serconian Forestry Department. 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 2,802nd in the world and 155th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 10,731.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
