The Community of SRV is a large, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, digital currency, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 122 million Nodes 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 relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Clustered economy, worth 12.0 trillion PUS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 98,379 PUS, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 887,687 per year while the poor average 1,328, a ratio of 668 to 1.

Frat-house partying has become the national pastime, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, companies are literally blowing their competition out of the water, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SRV's national animal is the Bug, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SRV is ranked 675^th in the world and 3^rd in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 668.17 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
