The Kingdom of Siong is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by King Bersiong with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.16 billion Sionians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siong. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 1.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sionian economy, worth a remarkable 2,462 trillion Diamonds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 220,633 Diamonds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,008,142 per year while the poor average 2,745, a ratio of 731 to 1.

Hundreds of teenagers die every year at the Sionian Hungry Games, movies depict muscle-bound women kicking down a titanium door to carry hysterical men to safety, the news of budget cuts leaves a sour taste in Sionian mouths, and King Bersiong has more friends than ever before. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Siong's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship King Bersiong.

Siong is ranked 55,190^th in the world and 7^th in Sulawesi for Largest Populations, with 11.2 billion capita.
