The Fiefdom of Seraphim 3 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.076 billion Seraphim 3ians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Public Transport is ignored. The average income tax rate is 78.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Seraphim 3ian economy, worth 490 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 159,366 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', the newest shade developed by Seraphim 3's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', airplane passenger seat sizes and ticket prices are both first-class, and stranded astronauts hitch rides on foreign spacecraft to get home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seraphim 3's national animal is the dolphin, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
Seraphim 3 is ranked 66,220th in the world and 608th in Eye for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,897.71 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
