The State of Cerevaux is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Richard Smith with an even hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 7.773 billion Cerevauxians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Exegol. The average income tax rate is 70.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Cerevauxian economy, worth 361 trillion Peckles 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 Woodchip Exports industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 46,513 Peckles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, and group hugs break out during floor votes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerevaux's national animal is the Octopus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Refrigeration.

Cerevaux is ranked 49,353^rd in the world and 1^st in Union of Hurgastan for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 626.05 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
