The Empire of The Celestial Lands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Nikko Mayzuka with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 4.81 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 juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital City. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

The fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Celestial Lands's national animal is the Arceus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Lunacy, and its currency is the Bitcoin.

The Celestial Lands is ranked 88th in Democratium and 31,374th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 15 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
