The United Socialist Republic of The Sinclarian Provinces is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Jerod Lasater with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 12.679 billion Sinclarians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gracemeria. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sinclarian economy, worth a remarkable 6,100 trillion Sets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 481,158 Sets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains, companies struggle to cover for the hordes of employees on parental leave, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, and elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Set mansions. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sinclarian Provinces's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Sinclarian Provinces is ranked 240,254^th in the world and 9,902^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -24.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
