The Kingdom of Cyphlous is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its digital currency, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 172 million Cyphlousians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 24.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cyphlousian economy, worth 9.54 trillion Cyphlousian Crowns 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 55,448 Cyphlousian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nerdy teenagers have to prove that they're made of the same stuff as their grandparents, skateparks can be found in every city, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and doctors ask for written consent before making eye contact with patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyphlous's national animal is the The Great Cyphlousion Horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cyphlous is ranked 51,494^th in the world and 1,605^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 144.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
