The Kingdom of Syntaros is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working population of 2.665 billion Syntarosians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valtorae. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.2%.

The thriving Syntarosian economy, worth 271 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 101,785 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,905 per year while the poor average 22,675, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syntaros's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Syntaros is ranked 111,139^th in the world and 1,445^th in The North Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,982.71 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
