The Sovereignty of Cyzon Galactic is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Director Dyhelix Aletheia Starian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 21.472 billion Cyzonians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Galactic Capital Solaris. The average income tax rate is 83.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cyzonian economy, worth a remarkable 6,518 trillion credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 303,584 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Black gold is looking more brown these days, refugees without a PhD are sent back to where they came from, newspapers and TV broadcasters are given a list of 'acceptable words', and cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyzon Galactic's national animal is the skystar dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cyzon Galactic is ranked 2,707^th in the world and 2^nd in The Black Hawks for Most Developed, scoring 97.55 on the Human Development Index.
