The Most Serene Republic of Ciustistan is a tiny, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18 million Ciustisians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 59.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Ciustistani economy, worth 475 billion Ciustistani Lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,427 Ciustistani Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, Maxtopian Grass flags adorn every college dorm room, it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors, and sneezing in public is a capital offense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ciustistan's national animal is the porpoise.

Ciustistan is ranked 155,818^th in the world and 830^th in Europeia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,478.52 Standard Monetary Units.
