The Democratic Republic of Cima is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Presidente Intergaláctico Superestrella with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.078 billion victorianos are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nueva Vetusta. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant cima economy, worth 98.2 trillion doblóns a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is 16,160 doblóns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People who do not complete their community service are sentenced to more community service, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, bike rage is all the rage, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cima's national animal is the Meerkat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cima is ranked 22,241^st in the world and 1,248^th in Lazarus for Most Cultured, scoring 88 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
