The Rogue Nation of Serpents Subterfuge is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 39.194 billion Serpents Subterfugeans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galicula. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Serpents Subterfugean economy, worth an astonishing 13,432 trillion dinars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 342,724 dinars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,190,201 per year while the poor average 3,336, a ratio of 956 to 1.

Withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, schoolchildren are divided over Leader's "Why Tigers are Cooler than Lions" speech, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, and the morbidly obese often sell stock options on their own corpses. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Serpents Subterfuge's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Curruption.

Serpents Subterfuge is ranked 291,267^th in the world and 11,089^th in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 21.52 law-abiding acts per hour.
