The Dictatorship of CY83R is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Johnny Silverhand with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.529 billion CY83Rians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Industry, with Law & Order, Defense, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of CY83R C17Y. The average income tax rate is 14.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CY83Rian economy, worth 541 trillion Eddies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 214,188 Eddies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, the Rat is protected from hunting and slowly coming back from the brink of extinction, acknowledgement of minority groups is usually a Trojan horse, and naval armadas borrow their formations from synchronized swimming handbooks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CY83R's national animal is the Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CY83R is ranked 9,675th in the world and 180th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 126,689.91 Standard Monetary Units.
