The Constitutional Monarchy of Beta Cyndriel is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 11.076 billion Cyndredis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Beta Cyndrielian economy, worth 456 trillion leis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,190 leis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, busy commuters no longer hear the cries of "I want some more!" on the nation's streets, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beta Cyndriel's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Beta Cyndriel is ranked 121,016^th in the world and 5,910^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -14.67 on the Hayek Index.
