The Republic of Cimmerien is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Waesiris with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 17.647 billion Cimmerians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Higekrastiensodt. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cimmerian economy, worth a remarkable 2,672 trillion NAS a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,431 NAS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, and plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cimmerien's national animal is the Griffon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is TBD.

Cimmerien is ranked 4,548^th in the world and 231^st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.79 law-abiding acts per hour.
