The Socialist Republic of Srius is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Fredrick Tupa with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.671 billion Srians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Administration, although Industry, Education, and Law & Order are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vega. The average income tax rate is 84.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Srian economy, worth 366 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 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 137,140 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens ask "how many crooks could a nunchuck hook if a nun had nunchucks too?", young people crowd pizza parlors praying to 'The Supreme Pizza, His Immaculate Munchiness', citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and Fredrick Tupa has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 30,136^th in the world and 31^st in Thaecia for Most Developed, scoring 83.21 on the Human Development Index.
