The United Federation of Serlain States is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Premier Konarisin Senyahak with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.959 billion Serlains hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oremlyn. The average income tax rate is 79.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serlain economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion selzyts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 187,666 selzyts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government expenses are beyond compare, graffiti graces every city's streets, a few people seem to spend their whole time complaining, and business leaders commend the government for enacting an emissions reduction strategy that reduces no Serlain emissions at all. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 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 56,288^th in the world and 16^th in The Hole To Hide In for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,577.21 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
