The Empire of Sriae is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ja'Kyler Roman with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.501 billion Sriaeans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sriastania. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sriaean economy, worth 407 trillion SCDS 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. 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 impressive 116,513 SCDS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it... Sriaean satellites can detect it, royal mothers accustomed to baby-talk assure the troops "we gweatly wespect your service; yes, we do", the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system, and the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sriae's national animal is the Sriaean Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sriae is ranked 140,591^st in the world and 207^th in Chicken overlords for Most Patriotic, with 10.56 flags saluted per person per day.
