The Metacausal Big Bad Daddy of Kyrusia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Overgoat with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, complete lack of public education, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.809 billion infernal caprids enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, corrupt, liberal, pro-business individuals prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandæmonium. Income tax is unheard of.

The strong infernally caprine economy, worth a remarkable 2,541 trillion Faustian bargains a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 94,807 Faustian bargains, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 872,520 per year while the poor average 1,052, a ratio of 829 to 1.

Exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles, in a fit of passion the Overgoat has shredded thirty years' worth of petitions, the Cult of the Overgoat has been named as Kyrusia's national religion, and the Laws of War require "enthusiastic consent" (Kyrusia has found 2 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kyrusia's national animal is the diabolic ibex, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of the Overgoat.

Kyrusia is ranked 305,648th in the world and 312th in The Brotherhood of Malice for Lowest Crime Rates, with 5.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
