The Democratic Republic of Ciruanda is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 8 million Ciruandans 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.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The Ciruandan economy, worth 397 billion Ciroleses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 49,655 Ciroleses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's ambassadors often conduct their business in jail cells, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ciruanda's national animal is the Coruja, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ciruanda is ranked 108,930^th in the world and 124^th in Declansburg for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 44.28 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
