The Most Glorious Dictatorship of Cidonia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Viktor Nazar with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 38.992 billion Cidonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cid City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cidonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,336 trillion Cids a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 162,513 Cids, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, the government puts forth the claim that harming young girls is wrong, third world countries are rich in "I Love Cid City" t-shirts, and colonists who were promised new lands find only war-torn devastation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cidonia's national animal is the crab-eating macaque, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Cidonia is ranked 38,082^nd in the world and 446^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 78.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
