The United States of Cirus is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The democratic population of 288 million Cirusians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.4%.

The strong Cirusian economy, worth 22.2 trillion Cirian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 77,096 Cirian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering, and army pay is to kill and die for. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cirus's national animal is the Cirian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cirus is ranked 65,191^st in the world and 626^th in the West Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,122.73 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
