The Oppressed Peoples of Syene is a tiny, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning emu population. The hard-working population of 7 million Syeneans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 16.3%.

The Syenean economy, worth 325 billion florins a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 46,500 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Syene's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Syene is ranked 174,806^th in the world and 6^th in Nefertem for Highest Drug Use, scoring 126.07 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
