The Rogue Nation of Sykapu is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mahoji with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 27.492 billion Sykapuans 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dorm Room. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sykapuan economy, worth a remarkable 6,988 trillion Pebbles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 254,217 Pebbles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

College-level writing classes are taught by undergraduate editors of the school newspaper, crossword puzzles have been co-opted as a symbol of racial discrimination, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Sykapu's skill with the blade, and Sykapuans also serve as great lightning rods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sykapu's national animal is the Pyuma, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sykapu is ranked 147,461st in the world and 5,729th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 815.02 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
