The Kingdom of Sydalon is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Melisende III with an even hand, and remarkable for its burgeoning Lion population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 19.875 billion Sydalenes are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Industry isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sydalon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.5%.

The very strong Sydalonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion Denarii a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 62,932 Denarii, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 192,244 per year while the poor average 15,967, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, Sydalon has designated Sydalon as its capital city, and Queen Melisende III has just been declared ruler of Sydalon in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sydalon's national animal is the Lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sydalon is ranked 42,138^th in the world and 6^th in Ajax for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 57,582.89 Standard Monetary Units.
