The Flameland of Sylvanville is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Minister of the Eternal Flame with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 5.637 billion Sylvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yew Nork City. The average income tax rate is 89.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sylvanian economy, worth 670 trillion Shingles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 118,860 Shingles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Sylvanville's heavy congestion charges are the bane of motorists' lives, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, and AI management double books government press conferences. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sylvanville's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Flamism.

Sylvanville is ranked 307,154^th in the world and 102^nd in Dystopian Utopia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.77 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
