The People's Republic of Siamiac is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, vat-grown people, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 232 million Siamiacians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 20.1%.

The very strong Siamiacian economy, worth 16.8 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,286 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, sports fans complain that cricket tests now last an unbearable ten days, fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, and businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections. Crime is well under control. Siamiac's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Siamiac is ranked 243,527^th in the world and 3,886^th in the South Pacific for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -3.16 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
