The Commonwealth of Cytha is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Foster Cealca with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.504 billion Cythans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cealchythe. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cythan economy, worth a remarkable 1,090 trillion Bits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,794 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suburban residents are told not to panic while hitchhikers swarm their neighborhoods, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores, and sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cytha's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cytha is ranked 229,412^th in the world and 3,391^st in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
