“In Nuclear Power We Trust”

The Reclusive Protectorate of The Cerberus Alliance is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Eric Drake with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 7.93 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Social Equality and Religion & Spirituality receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alliance City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Information Technology and Uranium Mining.

Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Cerberus Alliance's national animal is the three-headed dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the credit.

The Cerberus Alliance is ranked 5th in the region and 14,531st in the world for Most Pro-Market Nations.
