The Republic of Cyberpunk Unicorns is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.807 billion Cyberpunk Unicornsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cyberpunk Unicornsian economy, worth 248 trillion Eurodollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,472 Eurodollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The silencing of dissent speaks volumes about the quality of Cyberpunk Unicornsian democracy, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, Cyberpunk Unicorns is increasingly belligerent on the international stage, and employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyberpunk Unicorns's national animal is the Cyber Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cyberpunk Unicorns is ranked 266,707th in the world and 89th in Nerdlandia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.13 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
