The Matriarchy of Cypronesos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chairitta and Minou with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 22.758 billion Cypronesians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nikosía. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cypronesosian economy, worth a remarkable 2,520 trillion silver swastikas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 110,768 silver swastikas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 888,536 per year while the poor average 3,196, a ratio of 278 to 1.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, a recent "genocide prevention" campaign includes murdering children based on their DNA, and the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cypronesos's national animal is the cricket, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is the Cult of Big Mommy.

Cypronesos is ranked 3,032^nd in the world and 2^nd in New Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 12,804.99 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
