The Kingdom of Cinvotta is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Johannes Sadorker with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 798 million Cinvottans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glendora. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.5%.

The strong Cinvottan economy, worth 57.5 trillion reds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,996 reds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 340,695 per year while the poor average 8,999, a ratio of 37.9 to 1.

Running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, and the government is said to have a martyrdom complex. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cinvotta's national animal is the Mounty, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cinvotta is ranked 284,660^th in the world and 31^st in The Moon for Nicest Citizens, with 0.7 average smiles per day.
