The Empire of Syplintus is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Zev with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, enslaved workforce, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 21.524 billion Syplintins are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mahorela. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Syplintin economy, worth a remarkable 3,052 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 141,825 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 520,371 per year while the poor average 27,361, a ratio of 19.0 to 1.

Stocks go up when the internet says so, migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Zev's throne, and repeat offenders flinch at the sound of a swishing stick. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Syplintus's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Zev.

Syplintus is ranked 91,239^th in the world and 4^th in Anontia for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 50.94 Effective Tax Rate.
