The Constitutional Monarchy of Cyphlous is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 75 million Cyphlousians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.6%.

The sizeable but inefficient Cyphlousian economy, worth 3.89 trillion Cyphlousion Dollers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 51,857 Cyphlousion Dollers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Judges are rumored to find in favor of whoever bribes them the most, citizens volunteer for tax audits to avoid the 80-page Practical Assessment Survey Tool On Religions, stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, and people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyphlous's national animal is the The Great Cyphlousion Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cyphlous is ranked 219,599^th in the world and 4,369^th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -95.92 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
