The Republic of The Syntax Republic is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 717 million Syntaxians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 49.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Syntaxian economy, worth 20.0 trillion games a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 27,907 games, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Syntax Republic's national animal is the there isn't one.

The Syntax Republic is ranked 176,072^nd in the world and 14^th in The Glitches for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 64.81 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
