The United Syndicates of Birobidjan is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Council Of Syndicates with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 1.581 billion Birobidjanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Naydox. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Birobidjanian economy, worth 50.6 trillion Gerahs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,025 Gerahs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, The Council Of Syndicates tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty", politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls, and Judaism has been named as Birobidjan's national religion. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Birobidjan's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Birobidjan is ranked 221,495^th in the world and 447^th in Talonia for Most Patriotic, with 3.93 flags saluted per person per day.
