The Conglomerate Megacorporation of Syntechnica is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 746 million Synticans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syn City. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Syntechnican economy, worth 117 trillion SynCredits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 157,857 SynCredits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Prospective parents are cheering on the streets as they no longer need a license to have children, talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction, chemically brainwashed citizens praise Leader's name on an hourly basis, and local councils have to call in dump trucks to clear parks of dinosaur droppings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syntechnica's national animal is the Sytho, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Syntechnica is ranked 50,708th in the world and 104th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 77.2 on the Human Development Index.
