The Principality of Sylvonectrie is a large, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 161 million Sylvonectrieans 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, Welfare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 15.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sylvonectriean economy, worth 7.89 trillion Deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,026 Deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, Leader's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, and flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sylvonectrie's national animal is the Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sylvonectrie is ranked 165,179^th in the world and 757^th in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 261.39 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
