The Dictatorship of Syballland is a mid-sized, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 90 million Syballlandians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.4%.

The very strong Syballlandian economy, worth 5.19 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is 57,682 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force. Syballland's national animal is the Boar.

Syballland is ranked 57,838^th in the world and 246^th in Concord for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 3,391.58 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
