The Holy Empire of Serafinowicz is, according to The Supreme Academy of Political Communication, a magnificent example of responsible secular autocratic government. The Entirely Trustworthy Academy of History asserts that 'Holy' relates to the local custom of living in a hole.

Cabbages and wheelbarrows dominate the domestic economy, the thriving export markets, the academic agenda, and the landscape.

While the currency is weak and likely to devalue further, there is a healthy barter economy with other nations in the region. The Ministry of Entirely Responsible Fiscal Governance recently announced the renaming of the currency to reflect international exchange rates.

Serafinowicz is proud to be an active member of the Live in a hole region and welcomes any trade agreements attracting hard currency or likely to help with the cabbage surplus.

As a short-term experiment expected to conclude within the next fifty years, the People's Government recently passed a law banning capitalism. There have been minor economic consequences, but the people reject the description of the economy as imploded. As a result of contraction of the cash economy, our citizens pay the least tax of all nations in the region, if at the highest rate.

Much of the intellectual activity occurs within the Ancient and Glorious University Academies of Serafinowicz, which comprise an unknown number of academies, including

  • The Supreme Academy of Political Communication (incorporating the Institute of Rightful Writings)
  • The Academy of Food Sciences and the sister body Institutus Brassicae
  • Most Worshipful Academy of Agricultural Sciences
  • The Peoples' Academy of Finance, Statistics and the Numerate Arts
  • Foundation for Practical Construction of Ingenious Transportation Devices (previously Academy of Wheelbarrow Design)
  • The Entirely Trustworthy Academy of History
  • Academy of Curious Observations and Industrial Hazards

While the government has been described as large and expensive by some ideologically polluted commentators, there is evidence for only a single Ministry:

  • Ministry of Entirely Responsible Fiscal Governance
