The Borderlands of The Syracuse Mafia is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.016 billion Mafiosi enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.5%.

The strong Mafioso economy, worth 61.7 trillion Crimes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Gambling, and Retail. Average income is 60,715 Crimes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 391,317 per year while the poor average 3,806, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, organ donation is compulsory, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, and elections have been outlawed. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Syracuse Mafia's national animal is the Italian Wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Syracuse Mafia is ranked 18,345th in the world and 6th in MHBs New Earth for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,757.93 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
