Syria is the most dangerous place in the Arab World (which is saying something to begin with). It is lead by Bashar Al-Assad, who leads the country with a DIEron fist. Syria is home to the United States' greatest killing sprees and is also one of the homes of terrorism along with Afghanistan. Soviet Russia, more specifically Vladimir Putin and Dr. Robotnik, take great pride in having home-grown one of the most dangerous places in the world.
Rumour has it that if you kill 25 people here, you can drop a nuke.
It was originally under Bowser's rule of the Bowser Empire, as part of the Squadala Empire, but it gained independence, but then gained dependence again because Squadala Man teamed up with Donald Trump to colonize liberate Syria.

Sadly Syria is in the middle of a civil war, as if you thought the cruel world couldn’t get any worse!
