The Concordance of Sirius is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Prefect Vasyl Sydor with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.956 billion Sirians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tiantan. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.4%.

The strong Sirian economy, worth 526 trillion denaris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 58,763 denaris, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, books are so highly regarded in Sirius that libraries are often revered as holy shrines, and organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Sirius's national animal is the dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Tellurism.

Sirius is ranked 117,812^th in the world and 27^th in The Local Cluster for Most Developed, scoring 58.68 on the Human Development Index.
