The Kingdom of Syrapyr is a large, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 56 million Syracians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 28.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Syracian economy, worth 3.55 trillion Taels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Average income is 63,363 Taels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, childish pranks are no laughing matter, and the Hanging Gardens account for half of Syrapyr City's water use. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Syrapyr's national animal is the Korean cockatrice, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Syrapyr is ranked 103,628^th in the world and 16^th in Byzantine Christendom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
