The Federation of Cyberstrom is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.615 billion Cyberstromians 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 Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cyberstromian economy, worth 478 trillion Cybercoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,666 Cybercoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Truncheon-mounted cameras record the beating of criminals in dynamic HD detail, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and gangs of political bullies tell minority voices to "shut up because we say so". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyberstrom's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cyberstrom is ranked 222,206^th in the world and 3,842^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.96 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
