The Colony of Syrasia II is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 612 million Syrasia IIians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Syrasia IIian economy, worth 22.8 trillion marks a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,264 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syrasia II's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Syrasia II is ranked 115,402^nd in the world and 102^nd in Sparkalia for Most Patriotic, with 13.68 flags saluted per person per day.
