The Imperium of Serpleddyland is a huge, genial nation, ruled by Federal Council with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical population of 894 million Serpleddilands are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serpburg. The average income tax rate is 50.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serpleddylandian economy, worth 92.7 trillion Serples a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,709 Serples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, and the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serpleddyland's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Serpleddyland is ranked 15,820^th in the world and 445^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 25.69 average smiles per day.
