The Republic of Cyclades is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.309 billion Cycladesians enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Cycladesian economy, worth 146 trillion drachmas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 63,605 drachmas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 194,300 per year while the poor average 16,138, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, postcards from Cycladesian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, Leader has just been declared ruler of Cyclades in an international press conference, and a major religion has been named as Cyclades's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Cyclades's national animal is the tiger, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cyclades is ranked 72,344^th in the world and 11^th in Attica for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.99 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
