The Fortified State of Kyrusia is a massive, economically powerful nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.924 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The enormous, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the location of the nearest ashtray. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Uranium Mining.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Kyrusia's pristine beaches, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, the commercialisation of highly deadly weapons has instilled Kyrusia with a very polite populace, and 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Kyrusia's national animal is the particularly nihilistic mallard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the consistently misunderstood humor.

Kyrusia is ranked 3rd in Razulica and 53,361st in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.402 Stalins.
