The Commonwealth of Siricalf is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The compassionate, cynical population of 20.172 billion Siricalfians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Siricalfian economy, worth a remarkable 1,069 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,043 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisements read like science journal articles complete with extensive references, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siricalf's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth.

Siricalf is ranked 265,642nd in the world and 1st in Ballenhal for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.01 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
