The Republic of CDland is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by John Newman with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 21.058 billion CDlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Defense and Education are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient CDlandian economy, worth a remarkable 8,700 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 413,154 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, cheap goods stamped "Made In Dàguó" are increasingly rare, epileptic patients switch their medications to whichever has a 'buy one get one free' offer, and preservative-laden CDlandian cheeses will be as edible when archaeologists dig them up next millennium. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. CDland's national animal is the horse, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CDland is ranked 35,835^th in the world and 6^th in The Allied States for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,067.27 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
