The Federation of Cyberstrom is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 9.935 billion Cyberstromians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 82.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cyberstromian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion Cybercoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 102,834 Cybercoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, and gardeners must genetically test weeds for unique traits before digging them up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cyberstrom's national animal is the wolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cyberstrom is ranked 176,841^st in the world and 2,043^rd in The East Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,420.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
