The Republic of Cypheri is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Douglas J Hunley with an even hand, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 21.769 billion Cypherians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zion. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cypherian economy, worth a remarkable 7,332 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 336,814 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, patriotic citizens simply tend to applaud rather than sing the nation's praises, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cypheri's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Science.

Cypheri is ranked 798^th in the world and 18^th in the South Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 15,945.14 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
