The The United States of Serpleddyland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Philo Glaber with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 1.044 billion Serpleddilands 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serpburg. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Serpleddylandian economy, worth 115 trillion Serples a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 110,625 Serples, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conspiracy theorists allege Serpburg's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, the new foreign policy is "why bother invading neighbours when they can be bought wholesale?", stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, and the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serpleddyland's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is atheism.

Serpleddyland is ranked 26,472^nd in the world and 633^rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 238.27 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
