The Night Watch Vigilantes of Cynfin is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The quiet, industrious population of 35.279 billion Cynfinians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cynfinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,748 trillion Francoes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 77,901 Francoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cynfin's national animal is the Homo Sovieticus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cynfin is ranked 88,446^th in the world and 1,092^nd in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 16.36 flags saluted per person per day.
