The Commonwealth of Serrande is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Emil Jøgselt-Nærreux with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.341 billion Serrandeans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosetlach. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serrandeasse economy, worth 467 trillion Scenors a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 140,065 Scenors, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign investment has dropped to a trickle after laws were passed preventing investors from taking their earnings abroad, the best rebates happen when the company no longer exists, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", and confessions don't count if suffixed with "izzle". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serrande's national animal is the Heux Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Soælouism.

Serrande is ranked 248,040^th in the world and 762^nd in Carcassonne for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,842.73 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
