Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of Syraq is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Yusri al-Din with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.71 billion Syraqis are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Education are also considered important, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raqqa. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The Syraqi economy, worth 226 trillion dinars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 60,967 dinars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Justice is available only to those who can afford its price tag, international trade can be a pain to deal with, both criminals and civilians are DOA, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syraq's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Islam.

Syraq is ranked 165,596^th in the world and 3^rd in Iraq for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 369.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
