The Democratic Socialist States of Sirian is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President of Sirian with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, smutty television, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 29.109 billion Sirianians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sirian River Valley. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sirianian economy, worth an astonishing 10,090 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 346,644 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists earn more grant money for reproducing old experiments than trying anything new, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and the police use sound cannons and mortars to deal with loud parties. Crime is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sirian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is a major religion.

Sirian is ranked 163,435^th in the world and 79^th in Aeternum for Largest Black Market, with 953 billion Standard Monetary Units.
