The Republic of New Syria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.091 billion Syrians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.6%.

The strong New Syrian economy, worth 266 trillion Minoan tala a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 43,772 Minoan tala, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,114 per year while the poor average 2,743, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. New Syria's national animal is the little owl, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.
