	San Serriffe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		San Serriffe was one of the most famous and successful hoaxes of recent decades; it has become part of the common cultural heritage of literary humour, and a secondary body of literature has been derived from it.
		San Serriffe is an island nation, also known as Hoaxe, in the southern oceans.
		San Serriffe is an archipelago consisting of two main islands and a number of smaller ones.

	San Serriffe - Wikitravel
		San Serriffe [1] is an island nation in the Southern Indo-Pacific Ocean.
		From 1432, San Serriffe was colonized, conquered and retaken in rapid succession by the Spanish, the Portuguese, the British, the Italians and, on one memorable occasion, Luxembourg.
		Due to San Serriffe's favorable location within 100 miles (161 km) of major Chinese-American shipping routes, combined with good prevailing winds, it is quite easy for survivors of major shipwrecks to wash up on the southeastern shores of the islands of Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse.

		When the world first heard of San Serriffe in April 1977, the tiny state was a sleepy island paradise under the authoritarian leadership of an unpopular general.
		The centre of Bodoni, the capital of San Serriffe, was, as ever, confused last night as it prepared to celebrate the 22nd anniversary of its discovery, the most dramatic event in the patchy - even blotchy - history of this remote sea-girt nation.
		While General Pica was known to be flattered by occasional comparisons to Britain's Margaret Thatcher, San Serriffe's current leader, Mr Bourgeois, is a great admirer of current British policies and has repeatedly sought inspiration for his fledgling democracy from the successes of the Blair government.

	FSE: Fire Safety Engineering
		I’m told, however, that San Serriffe has an enviable record when it comes to fire deaths, fire property losses and the consequent low level of business interruption and that this, I understand, is entirely due to the way that its building codes are written and enforced.
		San Serriffe was one of the most celebrated practical jokes in the history of UK publishing, when a supplement on these idyllic, but hoax, islands was printed in a newspaper on April fool’s day in 1977.
		Of course, the fact that San Seriffe was a hoax doesn’t mean that we in this country should not aspire to raising the level of the fire protection in our buildings, before the inevitable coincidence occurs, puts a lot of people at severe risk and in the worst case, kills.

		San Serriffe - The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement describing the tenth anniversary of the small island of San Serriffe.
		It was merely certain ritual aspects of the plays that they appreciated, as evidenced by the fact that they would “applaud widely whenever an actor appears wearing a Harris tweed hacking jacket with a centre vent and cavalry twill trousers and a paisley cravat.”
		Adding credibility to the supplement was the fact that many eminent people were quoted in it, referring to their experiences in San Serriffe.

	#5: San Serriffe
		Originally San Serriffe was placed in the Indian Ocean and one of the stories speculated about the way the islands were drifting slowly towards the coast of India.
		At the end of March there was a coup in the Seychelles and somebody realised that a supplement poking fun at a place called San Serriffe while there was mayhem going on in another bunch of islands with a similar name in the same ocean was not a good idea.

		San Blas, it seems, is also the name which had formerly been imposed upon the Kuna’s entire terrain.
		The situation in San Blas was further complicated by the factionalism that cropped up shortly after Panama gained its freedom from Colombia.
		The coconuts of San Blas are said to be the best and biggest of the Caribbean, and the Kuna purportedly harvest about thirty million of them annually, half of which are exported to neighboring Colombia in exchange for clothing, rice, and other necessities.

	April Fools pranks
		In 1977 the British newspaper The Guardian published a special seven-page supplement in honor of the tenth anniversary of San Serriffe, a small republic located in the Indian Ocean consisting of several semi-colon-shaped islands.
		The success of this hoax is widely credited with launching the enthusiasm for April Foolery that then gripped the British tabloids in the following decades.
		I think the San Seriffe hoax was even better than the BBC's 1957 hoax, The Swiss Spaghetti Harvest.
