The Technocratic Socialist State of Serelania is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by General Secretary GERSillySausage with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 23.013 billion Serelanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wursthafen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Serelanian economy, worth an astonishing 13,389 trillion Serelanian Energy-Based Credits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 581,833 Serelanian Energy-Based Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the nation's train stations are widely considered to be the ugliest in New Warsaw Pact, Big Belly is watching you, and talkative students are escorted from schools in second-hand prison buses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serelania's national animal is the Parakeet, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Reasonable Atheism.

Serelania is ranked 281,680th in the world and 85th in New Warsaw Pact for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -12.89 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
