The Federation of Sycruliovin is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Emiliano Chijany with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.185 billion Sycruliovinians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rybi Ayada. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sycruliovinian economy, worth a remarkable 3,364 trillion monetaes a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,176 monetaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every citizen sounds like a television news anchor, military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and feeling like a winner comes at a price. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sycruliovin's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam.

Sycruliovin is ranked 15,291^st in the world and 652^nd in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 101 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
