The Cosmopolitan Republic of Syndius is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sevina Etessi with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.942 billion Syndreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Syndrida. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Syndian economy, worth 313 trillion Sindenese Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 106,675 Sindenese Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Aggravated apostrophe abusers are admonished and assaulted, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, and Sevina Etessi has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syndius's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Loverattorism.

Syndius is ranked 47,360^th in the world and 2,730^th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 154.84 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
