The Dictatorship of CY83R is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Johnny Silverhand with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.739 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, although Law & Order, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CY83R C17Y. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CY83Rian economy, worth 577 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 210,791 Eddies, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, only those who apply can study applied maths, Loud Patriotic Music Day has been ranked the seventh best new holiday of the year, and couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten. 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 31,694^th in the world and 561^st in the South Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 82.6 on the Human Development Index.
