The Principality of Syclantaratime is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.767 billion Syclantaratimeans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 21.9%.

The very strong Syclantaratimean economy, worth 593 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 50,467 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, birth rates have hit an all-time low, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, and the education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syclantaratime's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Syclantaratime is ranked 269,787^th in the world and 2^nd in GOP for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -8.06 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
