The Democratic Monarchy of Seristria is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Ernst August of Hanover with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, pith helmet sales, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.812 billion Seristrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanover. The average income tax rate is 78.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Seristrian economy, worth 988 trillion Marks a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,215 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're only as old as you feel, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, and corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Seristria's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Seristria is ranked 181,494^th in the world and 708^th in Europe for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -6 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
