The Rogue Nation of Sykapu is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mahoji with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 22.309 billion Sykapuans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Dorm Room. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sykapuan economy, worth a remarkable 5,334 trillion Pebbles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 239,134 Pebbles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 802,579 per year while the poor average 52,876, a ratio of 15.2 to 1.

The government's new priority is citizens' access to cat videos, it's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Mahoji's childhood, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and social media sites go into shutdown for days at a time to censor user content. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sykapu's national animal is the Pyuma, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sykapu is ranked 291,394th in the world and 10,965th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 29.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
