The Imperial Republic of Republic of Sernia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Even Davis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.237 billion Sernians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Uraniopolis. The average income tax rate is 72.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sernian economy, worth a remarkable 2,147 trillion Units a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 296,746 Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Suspicious glow-in-the-dark wasps remain a source of terror and awe, the industries of Republic of Sernia are coughing all the way to the bank, public incontinence is a growing problem amongst the nation's women, and parents must decide between buying food and taking their children to the park. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic of Sernia's national animal is the Sernian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Republic of Sernia is ranked 270,472^nd in the world and 135^th in South Pacific for Safest, scoring 7.28 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
