The Federation of The Snake Brotherhood is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Reptilio I with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cheerful population of 35.974 billion Reptilians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serpentopolis. The average income tax rate is 81.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Snake Brotherhoodian economy, worth a remarkable 6,867 trillion ankhs a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 190,899 ankhs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, helium balloons lift the nation's spacecraft towards the heavens, Reptilio I's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common. Crime is totally unknown. The Snake Brotherhood's national animal is the serpent, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Snake Brotherhood is ranked 1,385^th in the world and 27^th in 10000 Islands for Most Beautiful Environments, with 4,400.27 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
