The Empire of Serturasi is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 129 million Serturis 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 46.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Serturasian economy, worth 4.80 trillion Sertano konres a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,209 Sertano konres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All work and no play has rendered the nation's children somewhat intelligent but also remarkably dull, discarded pennies litter the streets, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serturasi's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Serturasi is ranked 63,237th in the world and 303rd in Europeia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,472.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
