The Empire of Northern Cyrus is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chief Executive Collin with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.087 billion Northern Cyrusians 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 relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wichtiger Platz. The average income tax rate is 19.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Northern Cyrusian economy, worth 87.3 trillion Golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 80,357 Golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Patriots insist that size does matter, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Cyrus's national animal is the Gorilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Atheism.

Northern Cyrus is ranked 69,178^th in the world and 262^nd in Concord for Safest, scoring 94.94 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
