The Socialist Republic of Srius is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Fredrick Tupa with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.528 billion Srians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vega. The average income tax rate is 84.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Srian economy, worth 350 trillion Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 138,485 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production, fair play is a sportsbook refusing to pay what it owes, veteran cops reminisce over their heavy armor days, and cities are engulfed by smog. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Srius's national animal is the Wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christanity.

Srius is ranked 140,810^th in the world and 53^rd in Thaecia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,761.83 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
