The Senate and Populace of Cireth is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sara Vayne with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.42 billion Cirethians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cythe. The average income tax rate is 68.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Cirethian economy, worth 581 trillion Atlantean Drachmas 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 led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 35,404 Atlantean Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, Cythe's main city thoroughfare has been blocked by a row of leyland cypresses that mysteriously appeared overnight, and exam halls are littered with used needles and empty pill bottles. Crime is totally unknown. Cireth's national animal is the scarab beetle.

Cireth is ranked 21,813^th in the world and 3^rd in Atlantis for Nicest Citizens, with 22.05 average smiles per day.
