The Republic of Cyndanzi is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 460 million Cyndanzians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Murder Drones. The average income tax rate is 29.5%.

The Cyndanzian economy, worth 23.6 trillion Cyndanzi Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,203 Cyndanzi Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Starry-eyed convention goers have their heads in the clouds, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate. Cyndanzi's national animal is the Murder Drones.

Cyndanzi is ranked 163,995^th in the world and 93^rd in Aspen for Highest Average Incomes, with 51,203.3 Standard Monetary Units.
