The Ascensionist State of The Serdey Islands is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Va Th'aldō with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.599 billion Serdeyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Axon. The average income tax rate is 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Serdeyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,365 trillion Serdeyian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 243,932 Serdeyian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

A newly discovered small mammal's name translates into Serdeyian as 'your finger, you fool', the Father of the House has been in office just shy of a fortnight, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second. Crime is totally unknown. The Serdey Islands's national animal is the axolotl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ascensionism.

The Serdey Islands is ranked 96,303^rd in the world and 3,985^th in The North Pacific for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 3.76 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
