The Community of Serootia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dana Perx with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 13.143 billion Serootians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doxe. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Serootian economy, worth a remarkable 1,616 trillion Dacs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 123,008 Dacs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They say that Serootians made a dessert and called it peace, pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves, photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Dana Perx's bedroom, and endangered bison are herded across the border to prevent them from trampling on native prairie grass. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serootia's national animal is the Fennec Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Serootia is ranked 14,739^th in the world and 1^st in Devia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.48 law-abiding acts per hour.
