The Empire of Syherium is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 240 million Syherines are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.5%.

The strong Syheriumian economy, worth 17.2 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 71,708 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Syherium's national animal is the American eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Syherium is ranked 261,926^th in the world and 8^th in Anti emoji cat World for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 77.68 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
