The Kingdom of Sariella is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 878 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 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sariellan economy, worth 69.1 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 Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. 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 78,737 Sariella coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is no other place with more lab coats per square mile than former houses of worship, visitors to Sariella are microchipped and must be escorted by a Sariellan soldier - even to the bathroom, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, and the state auctions off combat drones to fund war reparations. 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 102,934^th in the world and 176^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,266.21 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
