The Dinosaur ruled enviroment of Cygwing is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jonas Wessel with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, fear of technology, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.206 billion T-rexs are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jurassic park. The average income tax rate is 85.0%.

The powerhouse a T-rex economy, worth 164 trillion Dinosaur dna cells a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,636 Dinosaur dna cells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", beatboxing has replaced the 'Wilhelm scream' as the nation's most popular sound effect, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, and religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygwing's national animal is the Dinosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Dinosaurism.

Cygwing is ranked 12,156^th in the world and 74^th in Forest for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,615.07 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
