The Federal State of Kyrkize is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 905 million Kyrkizeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Medvedin. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Kyrkizean economy, worth 58.8 trillion Ens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,992 Ens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, greenhouses are regularly raided by the police, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, and school football matches are usually five-a-side. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyrkize's national animal is the bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kyrkize is ranked 51,414^th in the world and 2,439^th in Lazarus for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
