The Borderlands of Synin is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, zero percent divorce rate, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 18.041 billion Syninians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bethnai. The average income tax rate is 83.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Syninian economy, worth a remarkable 1,736 trillion Estas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Woodchip Exports, Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 96,265 Estas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Tourists are denied entry because of a distant relative married to a Lilliputian, the military has declared war on all religious influence, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and gaping tourists take long-distance photos of diseased natives on "indigenous peoples" safari tours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Synin's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Violetism.
Synin is ranked 59,936th in the world and 15th in USSR for Most Stationary, with 762.2888871348 days.
