== Geography, Wildlife, and Climate ==
Serramal is located in Southwest Gondwana, with a humid continental climate. The country consists of a mainland territory which borders Ryza and Balnakia in the north, as well as the small island of Marago across the Serramal Strait, which is home to the capital of the same name. Much of the mainland is dominated by an extensive river network known as the Serramal Delta, which runs down from the Bandu Hills in the north. The exploitation of rich copper deposits has extensively disrupted the nation's ecosystem. The impact of mining activities has badly poisoned the Delta, causing mass deaths among local wildlife.

=== Foreign Policy ===
Serramal is a member of both the [[Council of Gondwana]] and the [[International Forum]]. The nation also maintains close connections to the Ellesborg Mining Cooperative and the [[Cryria|Cryrian]] [[Ellesborg|Mandate of Ellesborg.]]. Many Serramalese have migrated to Cryria on Special Labor Visas, and they also form a significant portion of the Cryrian Foreign Legion, which offers a straightfoward path to full citizenship.
 
=== Military ===
The military of Serramal consists of three branches - The Republican Army, Airforce, and Navy respectively. The military has some 17,500 active personnel, though many units are thought to be largely ineffective for anything other thanbeyond basic garrison purposes. Of the Army, only three MotorizedMotor Rifle Battalions and the Presidential Guard, numbering a combined 3,800 personnel, are thought to be capable of mounting serious operations. The Navy operates an additional company-strength unit of marines. The Airforce and Navy are both heavily reliant on external contractors for their maintenance and operations, and the military as a whole has historically made extensive use of foreign mercenaries.

== Economy ==
Serramal is a developing economy with a deeply impoverished population. Historically, much of the population relied on a subsistence lifestyle as farmers or fishermen. The beginning of copper mining caused a complete realignment of the national economy, however. Ecological damage forced many families to abandon their traditional practices and caused massive displacement and dislocation across the mainland. This would eventually trigger a significant diaspora from the country.
 
Today, Serramal is heavily dependent on the mining industry, which is in turn dominated by the Ellesborg Mining Cooperative.
 
== Demographics ==
Serramal has historically been dominated by three ethnic groups. The Amara humans predominantly resided in the far south, particularly around Iratura and Marago. Meanwhile, the Sana humans dominate the remainder of the mainland. The Ābwhala lutrynes once resided in the north of the country, however, ethnic conflicts and warfare between lutrynes and humans have seen the former largely killed or expelled from Serramal. Today, the Amara continue to hold many of the levers of power in Serramal.
