The United Union of Serpleddyland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Philo Glaber with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 1.028 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 62.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serpleddylandian economy, worth 113 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 110,529 Serples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation, pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute, and young girls and senior citizens alike can be spotted wearing colourful short shorts. 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 40,045^th in the world and 984^th in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
