The United States of Siriac is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 800 million Siriacis are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 60.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Siriacian economy, worth 31.3 trillion Francs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 39,109 Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, human sacrifice to the metaphorical altar of Mammon ensures national prosperity, witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials, and drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siriac's national animal is the Starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Siriac is ranked 53,680^th in the world and 466^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 577.86 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
