Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Saryeven is a colossal, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.436 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt individuals concentrates mainly on Defence, although Education and Law & Order are on the agenda. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Uranium Mining.

Eminent domain has been abolished, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Saryeven City, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saryeven's national animal is the Black Panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Syn.

Saryeven is ranked 8th in Zarathustra and 120,384th in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with -3 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
