The SybilSocialist Megacluster of The City of Guelph is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by President Banks with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 15.411 billion Guelphites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Guelph. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Guelphian economy, worth an astonishing 11,108 trillion Dollar Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 720,813 Dollar Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, money grows on trees, and cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy. Crime is totally unknown. The City of Guelph's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sibyl Worship.

The City of Guelph is ranked 289,359^th in the world and 11,342^nd in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 4.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
