“Progress over pleasure”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Armed Republic of Kyroistan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.834 billion Kyroistanians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kyroistan City. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Kyroistanian economy, worth a remarkable 4,564 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an amazing 329,975 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

"Mad Max: Returning Again to Barrydrome" is this year's unexpected summer blockbuster, up to 40% of voters can finally read the issues they're deciding on, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and lobotomised jaywalkers can barely ambulate let alone repeat their offences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kyroistan's national animal is the Rabbit, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kyroistan is ranked 1,383^rd in the world and 4^th in Middle East for Lowest Crime Rates, with 146.44 Law-abiding Acts Per Hour.
