The Colony of Cygnus 062 is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and hatred of cheese. The hard-working, devout population of 4.025 billion Cygnus 062ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 37.4%.
The Cygnus 062ian economy, worth 173 trillion Saiphs a year, is led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,074 Saiphs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.
Superfoods are often seen as supervillains, organ donation rates have hit a new low, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygnus 062's national animal is the Bellatrix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cygnus 062 is ranked 206,159th in the world and 9,898th in Osiris for Smartest Citizens, with 25.02 quips per hour.
