The United States of Cirus is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 161 million Cirusians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cirusian economy, worth 8.74 trillion Cirian Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 54,304 Cirian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Cirusian ambassadors, revolutionaries only deal in CyanCatCoin, printing ink yields a major religion's biggest return on investment, and election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cirus's national animal is the Cirian Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cirus is ranked 140,985^th in the world and 1,229^th in the West Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 447.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
