The Matriarchy of Sirenal is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 701 million Sirenalians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sirenalian economy, worth 54.8 trillion Sire Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,117 Sire Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for Sirenalian schools, artists are pillars of society, the Forestry Department has decided you really can't fight fire with fire, and the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sirenal's national animal is the Unicorn , which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sirenal is ranked 46,235^th in the world and 87^th in Aesica for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
