The Protectorate of The Kingdom of Nova Syrupa is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by King Pedro with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 5.818 billion Nova Syrupans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mount Pearl. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Nova Syrupan economy, worth 545 trillion Nova Syrupa reais a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 93,840 Nova Syrupa reais, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Mount Pearl, and the passport doubles as a birth certificate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Kingdom of Nova Syrupa's national animal is the Duck tolling retriever dog, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

The Kingdom of Nova Syrupa is ranked 71,150^th in the world and 3,717^th in Osiris for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,639.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
