The Holy Hippocracy of Sirocco is an enormous landlocked country that sits at the centre of the giant megalith of Lancre. Ruled by the notoriously daft, belligerent, and rather jejune King Siroc, Sirocco is a nation that has been on the brink of civil war for many decades. Possibly the only thing stopping all-out chaos is that the citizens are a bit too lazy and 'mature' for that kind of thing.
Government
King Siroc at the top in his palace gloating over his realm with many subordinates he doesn't remember hiring doing less important things like governing the country.
Religion
Sirocco is very multicultural. It has often been said that there are more Gods than people in Sirocco and this is certainly true because of the G'rakkaan cult of F'zdibob who have Gods for everything from divine peace to greengages.
Military
Sirocco's military is mostly made up of drunks, social rejects, and all the other dregs of society. The guns are all hand-me-downs and the only nuclear weapon is the nuclear pea-shooter, long banned by the army for being too silly.
Other features of note
The national animal is the flightless hippo, an animal which, despite the name, can indeed fly. It is said that the term 'flightless' is simply a misnomer and is from the old Siroccan word of flytles meaning 'grounded'. Savage and dangerous, these animals have often been used in Sirocco's few military campaigns (handing out recruitment pamphlets mostly) and entertainment television.
The national currency is the IOU which has often been blamed for the nation's yo-yo economy.
The national motto is "Don't ask me, I only govern here".
Sirocco is also a game moderator of NationStates.
