The Sernetian Territory of Smoltrendestof is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Smoltrendestof Council with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.672 billion Smoltrendestofians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all.
