The Confederacy of SyChotEst is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its burgeoning bison population. The quiet, industrious population of 928 million SyChotEstians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient SyChotEstian economy, worth 28.3 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,495 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SyChotEst's national animal is the bison.
