The United States of Cirus is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, public floggings, and soft-spoken computers. The democratic population of 130 million Cirusians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 17.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cirusian economy, worth 6.97 trillion Cirian Dollars 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 Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 53,611 Cirian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recognised healthcare professionals treat diabetes with a grain of sugar in a barrel of water, everyone suspects that everyone else is a terrorist, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, and the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cirus's national animal is the Cirian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cirus is ranked 167,922^nd in the world and 1,625^th in the West Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 54.38 on the Human Development Index.
