The Empriean Reikh and SFC of The Sythian Empire is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Hughes with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 1.653 billion Empireans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Geegooria. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Empirean economy, worth 294 trillion Orns 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 Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 177,863 Orns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and referenda are held for every conceivable government action. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sythian Empire's national animal is the Red Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Sythian Empire is ranked 12,943^rd in the world and 9^th in Socialists for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,917.2 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
