The Principality of The Supreme Serpent is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by God Emperor with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, ritual sacrifices, and cultivated feral children. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.96 billion The Chosen 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cave Place. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.4%.

The all-consuming Chosen economy, worth 281 trillion Doubloons a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,679 Doubloons, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 449,868 per year while the poor average 35,185, a ratio of 12.8 to 1.

Real men are endangered, Cave Place consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, and universities now offer degrees in cycling etiquette. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Supreme Serpent's national animal is the Rock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Imperial Truth.

The Supreme Serpent is ranked 208,910^th in the world and 713^th in the West Pacific for Largest Populations, with 1.96 billion capita.
