The Supporter of Ukraine of Constantinolia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Andronikos VI with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, pith helmet sales, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.286 billion Byzantines 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Constantinople. The average income tax rate is 17.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Byzantine economy, worth a remarkable 2,365 trillion hyperpyrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 209,564 hyperpyrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Major archaeological findings are frequently bulldozed to make way for new buildings, the annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport, and black market eau de toilette is made in bathroom labs across the nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Constantinolia's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Constantinolia is ranked 251,961^st in the world and 10,977^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -25 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
