The Most Serene Republic of Sirenze is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 287 million Sirenzeans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Sirenzean economy, worth 16.6 trillion sols a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is 57,764 sols, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 176,459 per year while the poor average 14,656, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Sirenze's national animal is the seahorse, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sirenze is ranked 101,121^st in the world and 15^th in Arkonos for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 3,182.15 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
