The Sultanate of Syfenq is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sardar Sultan with a fair hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, museums and concert halls, and public floggings. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 33.334 billion Sultanatis are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nouveau Yathrib. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Sultanati economy, worth an astonishing 11,817 trillion New francRiels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 354,514 New francRiels, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,026,711 per year while the poor average 97,006, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Antique comic book collectors are disappointed to hear that their treasures are worth exactly as little as their mothers said they were, school children asked "what is two times two?" are likely to form a symposium to discuss how different answers make them feel, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Syfenq's national animal is the eucalyptus dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sufi Islam.

Syfenq is ranked 111,850th in the world and 1st in Sunalaya for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,576.49 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
