The Red Panda Clan of Syvani is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cleo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.121 billion Syvanites live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of That building over there. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Syvanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,831 trillion Lumyns a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 282,215 Lumyns, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

Chess players with pacemakers and cochlear implants are treated with suspicion, election officials are delivered in 30 minutes or money back, children and steel are ubiquitous features of the nethermost depths of Syvani, and public transit is widely considered to be perpetrating the patriarchy. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Syvani's national animal is the Red Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Syvani is ranked 7,275^th in the world and 175^th in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 109.53 quips per hour.
