The Dictatorship of CY83R is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Johnny Silverhand with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, unlimited-speed roads, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.587 billion CY83Rians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CY83R C17Y. The average income tax rate is 10.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CY83Rian economy, worth 543 trillion Eddies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 210,135 Eddies, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Virtually all of the country's economic activity takes place in CY83R C17Y, veterans are directed into environmental cleanup operations, suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, and there's more than one way to skin a diplomat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CY83R's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CY83R is ranked 17,838^th in the world and 124^th in the South Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 34,143.17 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
