The Odiferous Confederacy of Cysuvik is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Ron DeStinkus with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.967 billion Cysuvikians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Two Star City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.6%.

The thriving Cysuvikian economy, worth 631 trillion viks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 79,226 viks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 230,111 per year while the poor average 21,591, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Archaeological discoveries are often followed by mysterious hamster abductions, sweet-toothed Cysuvikians have been left penniless by the VAT on candy, chest pains are considered part of the dining experience in Cysuvikian restaurants, and some magnifier-wielding Cysuvikians say Ron DeStinkus seems a little lacking in something. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Cysuvik's national animal is the skunk and its national religion is Violetism.

Cysuvik is ranked 198,256^th in the world and 6^th in Loamhedge for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -4 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
