The Republic of Serkovy is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 507 million Serkovians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karavec. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Serkovic economy, worth 44.1 trillion Dinars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,990 Dinars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

With increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, and high school bands practice by moonlight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serkovy's national animal is the Serkovic Warmblood, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Serkovy is ranked 224,745^th in the world and 3,479^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -1.4 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
