The Dystopian City-State of Cyberkoala is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by the Mayor with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 5.225 billion Cyberkoalans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Sydney. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong Cyberkoalan economy, worth 329 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 63,076 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 370,402 per year while the poor average 5,013, a ratio of 73.9 to 1.

Hit and run driving is no longer a crime - it's the national sport, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, euthanasia is legal, and boot polish is the favourite lip gloss of entry-level corporate workers. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cyberkoala's national animal is the cow, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cyberkoala is ranked 318,467^th in the world and 22^nd in Australia for Safest, scoring 6.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
