The Allied States of Sinel is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by chuck norris with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.496 billion are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

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 83%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

Popular websites like NationStates are blocked for "national security", muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, people caught mistreating Sinel's flag generally wind up in a great deal of pain, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. 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 90,909th in the world for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring -94 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
