Sindika

The Circassian State of Sindika is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Janberk I the All-Wise with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The devout population of 1.474 billion Sindikans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shanjir. The average income tax rate is 53.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sindikan economy, worth 82.0 trillion Neghetsws a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,657 Neghetsws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pharmacists increasingly claim they are morally obligated to take long lunches, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, and Janberk I the All-Wise's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sindika's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Islam.
