The Federation of Serretonia is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 158 million Serretonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 76.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The imploded Serretonian economy, worth 951 billion Shkelds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 6,021 Shkelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military recruitment numbers are down as citizens object on 'moral grounds', Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serretonia's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Serretonia is ranked 59,651^st in the world and 167^th in Conch Kingdom for Safest, scoring 99.46 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
