The Colony of Cygnus 076 is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.029 billion Cygnus 076ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration and Law & Order are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.
The Cygnus 076ian economy, worth 194 trillion Saiphs a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,319 Saiphs, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.
Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cygnus 076's national animal is the Bellatrix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cygnus 076 is ranked 299,245th in the world and 14,036th in Balder for Smartest Citizens, with 17.05 quips per hour.
