The Commonality of Syara is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Executive Radovan Kostović with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, frequent executions, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.914 billion Syarans 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zovahr. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Syaran economy, worth a remarkable 4,485 trillion Dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 214,467 Dinars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,278,774 per year while the poor average 16,431, a ratio of 77.8 to 1.

Parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, mountains of VHS tapes of police actions are stacking up in the National Library, and reddish-brown is the new black. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syara's national animal is the Syaran Red Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zobethos.

Syara is ranked 17,924th in the world and 1,299th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
