The Republic of Cstdint is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.538 billion Cstdintians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.0%.

The strong Cstdintian economy, worth 489 trillion bitcoins a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,268 bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Shoppers have literally had their hands full since plastic bags were banned, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, rich people sell their mansions to pay for endless rows of mobile homes, and graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cstdint's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cstdint is ranked 46,063^rd in the world and 223^rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 5,663.38 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
