The Yellow Owl of Serconas is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Empress Myranaha D'Arcevon with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, humorless population of 26.032 billion Serconians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aracana. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Serconian economy, worth an astonishing 10,490 trillion Kohmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 402,989 Kohmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A little love goes a long way claim Serconian news, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Serconas's national animal is the Great Barn Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Perpetual Cycle.

Serconas is ranked 11,730^th in the world and 362^nd in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 26.0 billion capita.
