The Kingdom of Sariella is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 859 million Sariellans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sariellan economy, worth 70.4 trillion Sariella coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,905 Sariella coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, Sariella successfully hosted the The Communist Bloc Olympics, selfie stick use is a required Scout badge, and droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sariella's national animal is the Taratect, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sariella is ranked 26,661st in the world and 526th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,862.54 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
