The Great world of Snake universe is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaolin Lysander with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.545 billion Snakes 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snakesville. The average income tax rate is 79.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Snake universeanly economy, worth 463 trillion Snakeses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 70,818 Snakeses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High school bands practice by moonlight, it's normal to start working life with crippling financial debt, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Snake universe has found 4 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snake universe's national animal is the Snake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is yes.
