The United Kingdom of Syrandra is a huge, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 667 million Syrandrans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Syrandran economy, worth 20.9 trillion Sysks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Trout Farming. Average income is 31,401 Sysks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syrandra's national animal is the Whale.

Syrandra is ranked 220,785^th in the world and 4,672^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.9 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
