The Most Serene Republic of Seraphim 70 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.613 billion Seraphim 70ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seraphim 70ian economy, worth 185 trillion dong a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,109 dong, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diners regard burgers made from mechanically reclaimed cow protein as "proper meat", government debts are financed through alchemy, mountains of VHS tapes of police actions are stacking up in the National Library, and time flies when you're not having fun. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seraphim 70's national animal is the tortoise, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Seraphim 70 is ranked 47,531^st in the world and 789^th in Eye for Most Corrupt Governments, with 42.99 kickbacks per hour.
