The The United States of Serpleddyland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Philo Glaber with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.044 billion Serpleddilands have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serpburg. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serpleddylandian economy, worth 115 trillion Serples a year, is quite specialized and 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 110,432 Serples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, builders across Serpleddyland are blocked up with orders for new public loos, citizens are bankrupted by injuries to cousins they've never met, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. 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, and its national religion is atheism.

Serpleddyland is ranked 26,497^th in the world and 632^nd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 238.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
