The People's Republic of Siason is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 131 million Siasonians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 69.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Siasonian economy, worth 1.67 trillion Wals a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 12,773 Wals, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Male friends are often accompanied by a female relative in order to prove their 'straightness', the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and Siason has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siason's national animal is the Leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Siason is ranked 196,249^th in the world and 203^rd in The Sacred Elite for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 436.25 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
