The Republic of Cisparthaeum is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by First Consul Fózsá Márkvsz with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.767 billion Cispartheans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnvmvaradivm. The average income tax rate is 69.5%.

The sizeable but inefficient Cisparthean economy, worth 91.4 trillion Seșs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,697 Seșs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", school uniforms are compulsory, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and laid-off party bureaucrats accuse the government of selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cisparthaeum's national animal is the Aqvilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cisparthaeum is ranked 156,506^th in the world and 612^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,354.75 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
