The Volcanic Islands of Serranan is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Jalapeño Jolokia with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.047 billion Serranoes 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 large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Haban City. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Serrananian economy, worth 321 trillion Scovilles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 105,431 Scovilles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Serrananian tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, "the more the merrier" is now government policy, the trail of chickpeas is a controversial part of middle school curriculum, and laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts. Crime is totally unknown. Serranan's national animal is the Hotsauciraptor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Poblano-Catholic.

Serranan is ranked 21,576^th in the world and 48^th in Aesica for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,213.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
