“Es iekarot Visi”

The Southern Province of Commudus Kyztm is a huge, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 750 million 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 devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lexicon. The average income tax rate is 44%. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

The Commudus Kyztm Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, criminals are thrown to the Eagles to repay their debt to society, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commudus Kyztm's national animal is the Eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Obols.

Commudus Kyztm is ranked 129th in the region and 11,536th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
