The Empire of Siym is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its closed borders, ban on automobiles, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.133 billion Siymians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 97.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Siymian economy, worth a remarkable 1,844 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Arms Manufacturing industry. Average income is an amazing 201,981 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Toast never burns but always has a weird chemical taste, news editors who eschew the state-approved superlatives for describing Leader tend to disappear, poets and writers are regularly rounded up and shot for entertainment, and children get arrested for floating paper boats on lakes.
