The Most Serene Republic of Cinta-cinta is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Yang Tercinta with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 3.332 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although the Environment and Law & Order are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cintajaya. The average income tax rate is 85%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, and commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cinta-cinta's national animal is the Cintain, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the cintaku.

Cinta-cinta is ranked 372nd in Lazarus and 8,913th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 23 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
