The Pristine Protectorate of Seranis is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a staunch environmentalist with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 26.177 billion Seranisians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Seranis Meadows. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Seranisian economy, worth a remarkable 9,384 trillion serans a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 358,487 serans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seranis's national animal is the elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Fellowship of Leaves.

Seranis is ranked 50^th in the world and 2^nd in 10000 Islands for Healthiest Citizens, with 71.07 bananas ingested per day.
