The Senatorial College of Cielovera is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Magistrate Enkidu with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, humorless population of 5.115 billion Cieloverans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zylazistratium. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cieloveran economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion Rizeths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 205,896 Rizeths, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, the roads are notorious throughout the region for their peril, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and High Magistrate Enkidu claims tax rises are the result of 'curses'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cielovera's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Cielovera is ranked 265,968^th in the world and 1,318^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 40.53 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
