“Revolution, revolution, until victory”

The Republic of Cytriol is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its national health service. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 820 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cytriol City. 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.

Corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, refugees from other nations are flocking to Cytriol's border, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the Cytriol Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime is totally unknown. Cytriol's national animal is the falafel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the gaza.

Cytriol is ranked 25th in the region and 9,494th in the world for Most Godforsaken.
