The Free Land of Ciryatan is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its state-planned economy and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.754 billion Ciryatanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 44.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ciryatanian economy, worth 43.5 trillion Boats 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. 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 11,586 Boats, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, baby dolls thrown in the trash are a leading cause of panic attacks, Leader has just been declared ruler of Ciryatan in an international press conference, and Ciryatan has designated Ciryatan City as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ciryatan's national animal is the Swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ciryatan is ranked 313,035th in the world and 13th in Lindon for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -9 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
