The Commonwealth of Cytha is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Foster Cealca with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.721 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 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cythan economy, worth a remarkable 1,128 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 96,300 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes, parents who try to organize playdates for their kids have police drop through their ceilings, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and even the nation's brussel sprouts are delicious and nutritious. 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 3,524^th in the world and 152^nd in The North Pacific for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.54 percentage of bribes refused.
