The Democratic Monarchy of Seristria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Luke Francis Lehner of Hanover with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.048 billion Seristrians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanover. The average income tax rate is 74.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seristrian economy, worth a remarkable 2,080 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,110 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, consumption of cat memes has skyrocketed, Luke Francis Lehner of Hanover steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework. Crime is totally unknown. Seristria's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Seristria is ranked 279,775^th in the world and 1,357^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -6.78 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
