“For the Glory of the Empire!”

The Imperial Republic of Saiyevn is a gargantuan, economically powerful nation, ruled by King Bradley with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 11.049 billion are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saiyevn City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saiyevn's national animal is the golden dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the reichsmark.

Saiyevn is ranked 626th in the region and 54,523rd in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
