The Republic of Cisparthaeum is a massive, safe nation, ruled by First Consul Fózsá Márkvsz with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.695 billion Cispartheans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Magnvmvaradivm. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The sizeable but inefficient Cisparthean economy, worth 89.7 trillion Seșs a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 52,891 Seșs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", school uniforms are compulsory, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and laid-off party bureaucrats accuse the government of selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cisparthaeum's national animal is the Aqvilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cisparthaeum is ranked 127,941^st in the world and 652^nd in Europe for Most Developed, scoring 57.65 on the Human Development Index.
