The Bus Service of CDTA iRide is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its closed borders, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.291 billion CDTA iRideans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 43.7%.

The all-consuming CDTA iRidean economy, worth 199 trillion Imperial Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,870 Imperial Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 321,530 per year while the poor average 16,531, a ratio of 19.4 to 1.

Prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CDTA iRide's national animal is the Yellow Labrador, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CDTA iRide is ranked 79,509^th in the world and 7^th in Bus Stop for Highest Average Incomes, with 86,870.84 Standard Monetary Units.
