The Imperial Realm of Syndralia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Akiey Amarroo with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 1.918 billion Syndralians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syndra Prime. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Syndratic economy, worth 179 trillion Syndratic Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,594 Syndratic Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is an abondance of ackawi and zartschmelzend in every Syndratic grocery store, mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs', school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, and no-one ever lasts longer than a week on a life support machine. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syndralia's national animal is the Syndra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Syndratic folk faiths.

Syndralia is ranked 32,049^th in the world and 56^th in The League for Most Patriotic, with 37.08 flags saluted per person per day.
