Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Realm of Serpens Land is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by King Edward II with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, feral children, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.787 billion Serpens Landers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Charlotte. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serpens Land economy, worth 181 trillion Serpens Land Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 101,660 Serpens Land Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign musicians that King Edward II dislikes are turned away at the border, meetings are often scheduled for "about four-ish" following complete conversion to sundials, the old neighbourhood isn't how most Serpens Landers remember it, and people caught mistreating Serpens Land's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serpens Land's national animal is the Serpens Land Rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Serpens Land is ranked 51,677^th in the world and 103^rd in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,101.7 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
