The Alien Sultanate of Serandum is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 46.126 billion Seramians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Environment and Education also on the agenda, while Healthcare and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.7%.
The strong Serandumian economy, worth a remarkable 5,792 trillion sendums a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 125,580 sendums, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 506,869 per year while the poor average 20,773, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.
Half of Serandum's doctors can't speak the language, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the welfare administrations new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, and large areas of Serandum are not accessible by the public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Serandum's national animal is the koala, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Serandum is ranked 343,991st in the world and 197th in Africa for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 3.71 Effective Tax Rate.
