The Kingdom of Syntaros is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-working population of 2.519 billion Syntarosians 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, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valtorae. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.2%.

The thriving Syntarosian economy, worth 256 trillion guilders a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 101,722 guilders, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 339,695 per year while the poor average 22,661, a ratio of 15.0 to 1.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, a girl's success in life is often linked to her performance in beauty pageants, newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syntaros's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Syntaros is ranked 190,407^th in the world and 1,296^th in The North Pacific for Largest Populations, with 2.52 billion capita.
