The Holy Empire of Seraphit is a large, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 91 million Seraphitians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 16.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Seraphitian economy, worth 6.80 trillion fervours a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 74,685 fervours, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Vanity is considered the fifth cardinal virtue, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and there have been sightings of people walking around dressed in nothing but leopard-skin g-strings for 'religious reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seraphit's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Seraphit is ranked 253,088^th in the world and 4,277^th in the South Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 8.23 average smiles per day.
