The Council Republic of Syndicasia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by General Commissar with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, cheerful population of 4.911 billion Syndicasians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trogenal. The average income tax rate is 99.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Syndicasian economy, worth a remarkable 1,057 trillion vouchers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 215,300 vouchers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students consistently complain that the wi-fi ate their homework, politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Syndicasia's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Syndicasia is ranked 122,116^th in the world and 2,428^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Patriotic, with 14.24 flags saluted per person per day.
