The Disputed Territories of Ciper is a large, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 56 million Ciperians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ciperian economy, worth 2.99 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,447 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ciper has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, a bureaucratic fight over CIA cafeteria food expenditures has caused the temporary suspension of all agency counterintelligence operations, and cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ciper's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ciper is ranked 111,598^th in the world and 2,323^rd in the South Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 14 flags saluted per person per day.
