The Sovereign Republic of Sireco is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by First Consul Janus with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 15.381 billion Sirecans 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberius. The average income tax rate is 20.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sirecan economy, worth a remarkable 3,159 trillion sovereigns a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 205,432 sovereigns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic cables about First Consul Janus have suddenly been very flattering, the navy's new flotilla is gonna be a thrilla, women tell their friends they've been on crash diets rather than admit they were pregnant and have had terminations, and the "Dreadnowt" is the pride and joy of the Sirecan Navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sireco's national animal is the golden eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Sovereign Church of Sireco.

Sireco is ranked 118,915^th in the world and 5,091^st in Lazarus for Largest Black Market, with 302 billion Standard Monetary Units.
