The United Imperium of Syrakhanistan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by The First with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.277 billion Syrakhanis are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Administration and Education also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neo-Kirkukihara. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.9%.

The powerhouse Syrakhanistani economy, worth 648 trillion Riyal Sheqkels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 151,536 Riyal Sheqkels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 469,343 per year while the poor average 37,695, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

Government agents scour baking periodicals for subversive recipes, they say that The First's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, a politician who is photographed pulling a funny face while eating can say goodbye to their credibility, and international trade can be a pain to deal with. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syrakhanistan's national animal is the Pale Rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of the True Blessed Lady.

Syrakhanistan is ranked 49,615^th in the world and 1^st in Postpolitical League for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,971.19 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
