Changes

Rising global popularity of steam and coal as power sources began to influence Serrian domestic industry. By 1829, private industry had modernized much of the urban city centers in Vellina, La Spezia, and Francesco. In 1831, the Serrian Parliament, under Minister-President Roberto Sauro, passed the Acts of Industry. These were a series of laws aimed to expedite and coordinate the rapid industrialization of Serrian manufacturing industry. The modern historical and economic consensus believe that these policies did have a major effect on attracting both domestic advancement and foreign investment into industrializing Serria's urban centers. In 1856, private railroad networks had successfully linked together the archipelago for the first time, and by 1873, its rail network became one of the densest in the world. Early state investment in cooperation with private industry led to Vellina having electrified suburbs by the late 1880s, with the rest of Serria in the following decades.

200 years after exile had ended, the loss of Metropolitan Serria retained its importance in Serrian culture and politics. The public was supportive of well-funded, defensive-focused armed forces, and any offensive doctrine was heavily scrutinized. With the development of the state-operated integrated Serrian railway network in 1887, the military reformed its operations to maximize mobility through rail. Increased funding from Parliament allowed for the development of increasingly advanced cannons to be deployed on warships, the outdated ironclads to be replaced with steam-powered battleships, and for the sailing, frigates were replaced by advanced cruisers. The modular part design on Serrian guns replaced outdated equipment, reducing production time, and closing the technological gap with other modern armies. By 1901, the Serrian re-armament program was declared completed. In total, the nation had developed a medium-sized fleet of state-of-the-art cruisers, battleships, and infantry equipment that would remain competitive until the era Dreadnought and the semi-automatic rifle 20 years later. In 1901, Serrian pioneer Adriano Salvatore Verrani had sustained the world's first heavier-than-air powered flight, which flew for seven-hundred feet. Verrani's invention was displayed at the 1902 World's Fair in Kerthenia, which gave Serria international attention for its scientific discovery and growing industrial prowess. Verrani would soon found the aircraft manufacturer Verrani, previously an unsuccessful unicycle consulting firm.

[[File:Serriafromspace.jpg|thumb|left|Photo from Serrian astronaut Georgio di Anto onboard shuttle Serenità of the main island of the Serrian archipelago in the Nuntic Sea.]]The Serrian archipelago is a chain of 4 main islands, the largest being the name of the country, and the capital. The island of Serria composes the majority of the landmass in the archipelago. The geological history of the archipelago is quite violent, as the island chain is volcanically formed. The two volcanoes are active but have not erupted in over one-hundred and fifty years. The last recorded eruption was on the 4th of December, 1862. The Serrian farmland originates from these volcanoes, which leads to its nutrient-rich characteristics. The rich soil has led to a large agricultural industry around these volcanoes and throughout the archipelago.

The climate in the Serrian archipelago is moderate, but it leans on the cold end. Vast mountain ranges span the western coast and the southwest of the nation, while the center and northwest remain open plains, hills, and fjords. The mountains have snow typically year-round at their higher altitudes, and rain is a common occurrence around the archipelago. Waters around the Serrian archipelago are cold currents, however freezing of the ports is rare in anywhere other than the St. Tiaranos islands during the winters, and in previous years, all year-round. Common plant species seen in Serria's fields are the cattails, which is the National Plant, numerous varieties of evergreen pines, and the rose.

=== Foreign Relations ===  

Serria is an aggressively neutral state, which maintains a strong military for peacetime. The inscription on the Holy Serrian National Naval Warfare Academy reads, "Happy is that city which in time of peace thinks of war." The Serrian government does not endorse any state other than acts of respect and kindness, it bars itself from any military defense treaties. It recognizes all governments, however, any overlapping claims with another government are not recognized other than its own, and the Order of Serria's. Serria is extremely defensive of its treatment of its citizens abroad and will go to great lengths to discourage and enforce no violation of rights upon Serrian citizens outside their borders. It has a universal declaration of extradition, meaning, on a case by case basis, Serria will return prisoners of their nationality to all nations.

The Serrian military has five branches, the Esercito Serriano (Serrian Army), Marina Militare/Regia Marina (Serrian Navy), the Aeronautica Militare (commonly referred to in Dolphik as the Serrian Air Defense Force, SADF), the Cibernetica Militare (Serrian Cyber Force), and the Spazio Militare (Serrian Space Force). The Serrian Esercito operates mainly the CML.4g main battle tank and CT.1 wheeled tank destroyers, with many support vehicles such as Volpe armored cars and the acclaimed Rendastaggio series infantry fighting vehicles. Some Serrian ground vehicles are also equipped with Kerthenian APS systems which greatly increase the survivability of the respectively smaller armor force. The Serrian Marina Militare (Serrian Navy) is a world-class navy, and operates 4 aircraft carriers, 6 amphibious assault ships, 34 destroyers, 32 frigates, and 34 attack submarines. In terms of submarines, the 20 SN.42s ultra-quiet submarines operated by the Marina Militare utilizes air-independent propulsion developed with Qusmos to achieve silence and stealth. The Aeronautica Militare (Air Force) composes of just under 600 fighter aircraft, including Kerthenian F/A-34SA, with SB, and SC Golden Phoenixes (as carrier air wings), and Serrian P.300 Block II stealth aircraft, 12 SB.44b supersonic strategic bombers, and a sizable complement of airlift and transport aircraft. The Spazio Militare solely operates both Serenità shuttles OTV-4 Giustizia and OTV-5 Libertà on a national security contract with the Serrian Space Agency.

The Serrian military-industrial complex is global, using foreign manufacturing to produce most products, maintaining strong economic ties with many nations, not only through military equipment, but through labor, taxes, and more. The globalization of the economy also allows for a greater amount of flexibility, should one nation have civil strife, there are others that the invisible hand of economics will lead them to increase production to make up for the loss. Foreign factories are also heavily controlled to ensure no loss of strategic Serrian intellectual property- Serria is one of the strongest protectors of its national IP.

The next largest sectors of the Serrian economy include digital screens for miscellaneous applications, tourism and pilgrimage, philanthropic work, offshore resource extraction, agriculture, and architecture. Agriculture, being for most of Serria's history the dominant industry, has declined since the decades leading up to the Great War. The Serrian architectural industry boasts impressive accomplishments, such as the renowned historic churches and cathedrals (duomos), and the world's current tallest building in Vellina, boasting an impressive height of over a kilometer.
