The United Federation of Serlain States is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Premier Konarisin Senyahak with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 12.199 billion Serlains enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oremlyn. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serlain economy, worth a remarkable 2,317 trillion selzyts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,950 selzyts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Serlain emissions at all, farm turkeys are given high doses of antidepressants to take their minds off the holiday season, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. 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 22,413^th in the world and 20^th in The Hole To Hide In for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,137.73 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
