“I can get by in the meantime by myself”

The Federation of Syadai is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, cynical population of 851 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Social Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 19%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Book Publishing and Cheese Exports.

Door-to-door salesmen are frequently beaten up by 'vigilantes', political activists are routinely executed, criminals are thrown to the ephoss to repay their debt to society, and most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists. Crime is well under control. Syadai's national animal is the ephos, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the aidu.

Syadai is ranked 2710th in the region and 42,461st in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
