The National Republic of Sirdis is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Golden Morning with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning giraffe population. The hard-working population of 2.099 billion Longswordians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sirdis. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The Longswordian economy, worth 94.8 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 45,178 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Sirdis has designated Sirdis as its capital city, organ donation is compulsory, Golden Morning has just been declared ruler of Sirdis in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Sirdis's national religion. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sirdis's national animal is the giraffe, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sirdis is ranked 225,801^st in the world and 5^th in Griffonia for Smartest Citizens, with 23 quips per hour.
