The Incorporated States of Cyborgan is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 177 million Chooms are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.0%.

The all-consuming Cyborganian economy, worth 17.8 trillion Eurodollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 100,783 Eurodollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 551,754 per year while the poor average 9,393, a ratio of 58.7 to 1.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, the controversial show 'Who Wants to be an Immigrant?' has become wildly popular, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cyborgan's national animal is the Arasaka, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cyborgan is ranked 298,120th in the world and 779th in Horizon for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -5.48 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
