The Kingdom of Holy Syria is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 393 million Syrians 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 enormous, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Syrian economy, worth 16.6 trillion Arabians a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,113 Arabians, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Holy Syria are beset by rebels, the state has declared war on the environment and environmentalists by association, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Syria's national animal is the Camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Holy Syria is ranked 53,522^nd in the world and 1^st in OstVonRegion for Most Patriotic, with 26.04 flags saluted per person per day.
