The Commonwealth of Cynderr is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and ubiquitous missile silos. The democratic, devout population of 786 million Psitarrians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Psitarrian economy, worth 78.9 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,376 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens cannot change their light bulbs without approval from an international committee, many marriages go virtually unconsummated, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and the government has instituted 'traveller reservations' across the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cynderr's national animal is the primate, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cynderr is ranked 215,225^th in the world and 111^th in Astoria for Largest Populations, with 786 million capita.
