The Democratic Federal Republic of Cynthea is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Vlada Roslyakova with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.496 billion Cyntheasus enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charmine. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cynths economy, worth 431 trillion Aurelian Rubles a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 123,420 Aurelian Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Five-year-olds chanting "Little Miss Muffet" are accused of bullying arachnophobes, ships no longer sail as no one wants to encounter Cynths pirates, the government's new "quiet competence" initiative has supporters and detractors alike reeling in confusion, and being Vlada Roslyakova has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cynthea's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aphrodite - Eros Greek Paganism.

Cynthea is ranked 13,234^th in the world and 147^th in Europeia for Most Cultured, scoring 102 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
