The Commonwealth of Cyleia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Silas Adar with a fair hand, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 19.579 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, although Education, Administration, and Defense are also considered important, while Law & Order and Welfare aren't funded at all. 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 9,640 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 492,384 racus, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,016,534 per year while the poor average 35,275, a ratio of 85.5 to 1.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, they say that Cyleians made a dessert and called it peace, the skeletons of lost tourists litter the ground of the Great Cyleian Desert, and the government covers the basic health care of its citizens. 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 290,885^th in the world and 10,969^th in Osiris for Most Beautiful Environments, with 0.74 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
