The Allied States of Sinel is a massive, safe nation, ruled by chuck norris with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.116 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of snow leopard city. The average income tax rate is 90%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Punitive tariffs protect local industry, airport security is provided by private companies, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sinel's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the latch.

Sinel is ranked 1st in the nationstates of awesome and 2,939th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
