The Republic of United Serbian States USS is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 77 million Serbians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 45.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The United Serbian States USSian economy, worth 3.56 trillion Euros a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,276 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Home education can sometimes be a load of bullocks, future forecasters fearfully discuss grey goo and human obsolescence, machine-peeled candied grapes come in individual packaging for the busy commuter, and competing private ambulances racing to be the first to traffic accidents are a major cause of road accidents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Serbian States USS's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

United Serbian States USS is ranked 214,430^th in the world and 1,197^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 30.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
