The Secluded Ilukkasik Republic of Cylaedonia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, devout population of 874 million Illukituts are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arviksborg. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Cylaedonian economy, worth 32.0 trillion Ilukkasik Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,598 Ilukkasik Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Cops shout apologies with every swing of their baton, abortion is only legal in unusual circumstances, embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, and a generation of children conceived in hell and born in strife is growing up inside government-run care villages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cylaedonia's national animal is the Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Cylaedonia is ranked 50,833rd in the world and 23rd in Declansburg for Most Ignorant Citizens, with 24.5 missed references per hour.
