The Commonwealth of Cyleia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Silas Adar with a fair hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.225 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 Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erare. Income tax is unheard of.
The frighteningly efficient Cyleian economy, worth an astonishing 11,046 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 a breathtaking 520,468 racus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,373,970 per year while the poor average 32,108, a ratio of 105 to 1.
Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Cyleia's border. 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 2,441st in the world and 94th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 178.64 quips per hour.
