The Republic of Sergioica is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Big Kahuna Sergio with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.36 billion Sergioicans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Industry, with Defense, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krepost. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sergioican economy, worth 693 trillion Piastas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,309 Piastas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Police reduce their paperwork by refusing to arrest anyone, recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, soldiers are equipped with multi-million Piasta battlesuits, and Big Kahuna Sergio's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sergioica's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sergioica is ranked 59,511^th in the world and 881^st in The East Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,318.75 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
