The Confederacy of Cypruas is a small, cultured nation, notable for its parental licensing program, compulsory vegetarianism, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 29 million Cypruasians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Defense are ignored. The average income tax rate is 11.1%.

The very strong Cypruasian economy, worth 1.01 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 34,885 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, and Leader is adamant that ponies aren't just for little girls. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cypruas's national animal is the Cyprus mouflon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cypruas is ranked 281,808^th in the world and 2^nd in Cyprian Crest for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -95.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
