The Communist Federation of New Searpent is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 765 million Searpentians 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Searpentia City. The average income tax rate is 43.7%.

The strong Searpentian economy, worth 36.2 trillion rupees a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 47,378 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, military spending recently hit a new high, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Searpentia City. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Searpent's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

New Searpent is ranked 221,271^st in the world and 5^th in The Great Eastern Fields for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
