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

The Interstellar Republic of Sysillia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tasha Meriett with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The democratic, devout population of 5.946 billion Sys enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Beijing. The average income tax rate is 93.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Syslandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,463 trillion Pecunias a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 414,231 Pecunias, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, and the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sysillia's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sysillia is ranked 2,278^th in the world and 1^st in SolarFlare for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 7,439.19 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
