The Republic of Cypressbellow is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.21 billion Cypressbellowians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Cypressbellowian economy, worth 60.5 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Woodchip Exports, Tourism, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 7,364 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, a good deed is rewarded with a thank you note attached to a deportation order, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, and a major religion has been named as Cypressbellow's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cypressbellow's national animal is the eagle.
Cypressbellow is ranked 102,275th in the world and 9th in Old Zealand for Most Stationary, with 416.3291779936 days.
