The Orthodox Kingdom of Cydrie is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Nikusha Baghdassarian with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.615 billion Cydrieans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nikavros. The average income tax rate is 33.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Cydriean economy, worth 57.6 trillion Rubles a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,658 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, defense lawyers suggestively note to juries how flagrantly happy victims were, conversion therapy coupons are a popular present for coming of age ceremonies, and Eastern Orthodoxy has been named as Cydrie's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cydrie's national animal is the Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Eastern Orthodoxy.

Cydrie is ranked 90,223^rd in the world and 1^st in Rolling Hills of Ydri for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
