The Whatever's Left of Sincadenas is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Council of Delegates with a fair hand, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, feral children, and lack of airports. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 9.788 billion Sincadenasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Spirituality, with Administration and Environment also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Education receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birdhouse Central Commune. The average income tax rate is 3.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sincadenasian economy, worth 358 trillion nothings a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Gambling. 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 36,649 nothings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is firmly believed that cameras steal souls, the new intercity submarine SSN Black Hawk Warrior instills terror in claustrophobic travellers, weather reports simply advise Sincadenasians to 'look outside', and homosexuality has been banned to prevent the spread of homosexuality. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sincadenas's national animal is the black hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Animism.

Sincadenas is ranked 19,192nd in the world and 17th in The Leftist Assembly for Most Stationary, with 1,647.13434166668 days.
