The State of Serpent1a is a titanic, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 24.132 billion Serpentians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small government is dominated by the Department of Spirituality, although Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boise. The average income tax rate is 15.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Serpentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,602 trillion crowns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,397 crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader has just been declared ruler of Serpent1a in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Serpent1a's national religion, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, and the government is seen to favor Catholics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Serpent1a's national animal is the snake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Serpent1a is ranked 38,506^th in the world and 1^st in the Columbia River for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,192.78 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
