The Holy Empire of Funseserl is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.23 billion Funseserlians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Funseserlian economy, worth a remarkable 2,042 trillion Golds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. 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 199,669 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, and wildlife parks are packed with poachers yet increasingly devoid of animals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Funseserl's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Funseserl is ranked 26,109^th in the world and 1,568^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 64,093.78 Standard Monetary Units.
