The Empire of Sergey1 is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Сергей Первый with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The quiet, industrious population of 1.737 billion Sergey1ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of СергейСити. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sergey1ian economy, worth 223 trillion Рублиs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,572 Рублиs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, people are more interested in gossip about the private lives of politicians than their policies, and polygamy is legal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sergey1's national animal is the Волк, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Светское государство.

Sergey1 is ranked 15,900^th in the world and 684^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 100 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
