The Republic of Celduin is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.464 billion Celduinians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.0%.

The very strong Celduinian economy, worth 297 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 54,463 rubledollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 282,452 per year while the poor average 5,690, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Celduin's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Celduin is ranked 240,411^th in the world and 7,855^th in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 106.67 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
