The Confederacy of Cypronia is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 974 million Cypronians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Veridion. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cypronian economy, worth 87.9 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 90,201 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, airlines are reporting record profits from their new 'bread and water' service, and nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cypronia's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cypronia is ranked 104,318^th in the world and 183^rd in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 848.18 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
