The United Commonwealth of Cironea is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Dominika Czongor with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 18.959 billion Cironeans 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karvárda. The average income tax rate is 37.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cironean economy, worth a remarkable 2,606 trillion Sapals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,456 Sapals, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and diplomatic missions are often mistaken as declarations of war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cironea's national animal is the Katri, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sventojism.

Cironea is ranked 157,461^st in the world and 2^nd in The Berghof for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 559.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
