The Republic of Combined Communes of Syndicalia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.909 billion Combined Communes of Syndicalians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 42.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but sluggish Combined Communes of Syndicalian economy, worth 204 trillion Syndies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 25,918 Syndies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Military spending recently hit a new high, surveillance cameras are banned, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Combined Communes of Syndicalia's national animal is the Buffalo.
