The Kingdom of Cush is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 28.192 billion Cushites are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 58.6%.

The Cushitic economy, worth 854 trillion golds a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 30,309 golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is compulsory and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cush's national animal is the flying lion, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cush is ranked 227,786^th in the world and 29^th in Atlantis for Nicest Citizens, with 11.33 average smiles per day.
