The Kingdom of Srjie is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 204 million Srjieans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.1%.

The powerhouse Srjien economy, worth 17.3 trillion Notes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,933 Notes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, subsidisation of Big Pharma has stopped many corporate executives from having to sell their second homes, and babies living in poverty are told to take responsibility for their own fortunes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Srjie's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Srjie is ranked 216,112^th in the world and 2,864^th in the West Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -2.62 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
