The Sultanate of Serambi is a mid-sized, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 85 million Serambians 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, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 39.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Serambian economy, worth 4.12 trillion Riyals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,454 Riyals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, incompetent former soldiers have been re-employed as incompetent cleaners and kitchen staff, anti-government web sites are springing up, and the "daily grind" consists of levelling up in tedious video games. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serambi's national animal is the Kijang, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Serambi is ranked 258,696^th in the world and 3,167^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.29 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
