The United Kingdom of Ceaurea is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 753 million 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ceaurztadt. The average income tax rate is 74%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Businesses that prove successful are immediately broken up, Gryffins are considered a delicacy, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Ceaurea's border. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ceaurea's national animal is the Gryffin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Ceaurean Dollar.

Ceaurea is ranked 336th in Europe and 82,305th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
