The Commonwealth of Cyleia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Silas Adar with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 19.5 billion Cyleians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Administration, and Defense also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erare. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Cyleian economy, worth a remarkable 9,578 trillion racus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 491,220 racus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,918,531 per year while the poor average 37,961, a ratio of 76.9 to 1.

Lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, Silas Adar has declared a weed sticking through a crack in the sidewalk to be the nation's newest green space, signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, and military officers are given medals for disobeying orders. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cyleia's national animal is the phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cyleia is ranked 294,400^th in the world and 11,137^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 1.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
