The Republic of Serumpun is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.868 billion Serumpunians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The strong Serumpunian economy, worth 102 trillion Serumpun Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Average income is 55,012 Serumpun Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Serumpun's national animal is the Pig-tailed Macaque, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Serumpun is ranked 211,460^th in the world and 15^th in Mandalanusa for Largest Populations, with 1.87 billion capita.
