Battlefield: Bad Company
Context
Serdaristan is a small country that shares borders with the Russian Federation and has access to the Caspian Sea. It is controlled by a dictator known as Zavimir Serdar. Most of the citizens of Serdaristan speak Serdish and the country has good diplomatic relations with Russia, but it remained neutral in the Russo-American conflict, although in reality they were secretly working for both sides.
Military
The Military of Sedaristan is notably poorly trained and cowardly. However, they have large amounts of heavy armor, as well as other advanced weapon systems. Soldiers of the Sedaristan Military use and wear similar uniforms to soldiers of the Russian Military, and also use Russian weapons and vehicles, making no difference between the two factions to players.
Story
Sedaristan remained neutral in the conflict until Haggard single-handedly attacked it, and Bad Company wreaked havoc, until they were captured by the United States Army to stop them from causing any further hostile actions in the country. Soon thereafter, the squad was sent in to investigate activities in Serdaristan, as the United States was skeptical of where its loyalties lay. Just as soon as the squad's insertion helicopter left off, Serdaristani anti-air positions shot it down, confirming that Serdaristan was no longer neutral. Bad Company pushed through the Serdaristani forces and Legionnaire Mercenaries to finally kidnap the President of Sedaristan and use his golden-plated Mi-24 Hind to go AWOL again and search for the Legionnaire's gold. With this helicopter, Bad Company manages to defeat what was left of the Serdaristan's arsenal, leaving the country to be invaded by the Legionnaire Mercenaries, as the President was exiled to an island in the Caspian Sea.

Trivia
- President Serdar claims that Serdaristan was the first country to ever have the Internet.
- Although being Serdaristani troops, Sweetwater, Haggard and Redford still call them Russians.
- Serdaristan is most likely named after its leader, President Serdar, or one of his ancestors.
- Serdaristan is mentioned in a news article in Mirror's Edge. It is most likely an Easter Egg put in by DICE as they developed both Battlefield: Bad Company and Mirror's Edge.
- Though they are property of Serdaristan, all vehicles and uniforms of the Serdaristani Army have Russian flags on them.
- Though there is never a flag of Serdaristan explicitly displayed, Zavimir Serdar's golden Mil Mi-24 Hind has a small flag-like symbol of a black Kalashnikov-type rifle crossed with a black shovel over a yellow star with a red background and a white and blue stripe at the bottom. This may be the flag of Serdaristan.
- In Mirror's Edge another game developed by DICE, Serdaristan is mentioned in some news article while the player is waiting in the elevator.
