The Woodhouse Sanctum of Serein is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 4.146 billion Sereinians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sereinian economy, worth 155 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,392 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced, little kids often wonder why strange grown-ups are following them around the soft play areas, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and the smell of tobacco is often smelt around legislative buildings across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serein's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Serein is ranked 191,000^th in the world and 1^st in Ibiza for Most Developed, scoring 53.4 on the Human Development Index.
