“Your Government cares so you don't have to”

The Island of Cyrenean is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 11.198 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyreneai. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, Cyrenean is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and meat-eating is frowned upon. Crime is totally unknown. Cyrenean's national animal is the dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the beah.

Cyrenean is ranked 837th in the region and 54,894th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
