The Technocratic Republic of Serelania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President GERSillySausage with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 26.694 billion Serelanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. 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 15,407 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, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 577,191 Serelanian Energy-Based Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Half of Serelanian history is deemed too unpatriotic to be mentioned in textbooks, public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy, celestial bodies that make revolutions receive revolutions, and state-run museums boast about their anti-Serelanian art collections. 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 is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Serelania is ranked 202,348th in the world and 10,699th in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 314.91 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
