The Truculent Red Madhouse of Cerillium is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 24.378 billion Cerian enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Genero. The average income tax rate is 36.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,981 trillion Economic Units a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,293 Economic Units, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, and employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerillium's national animal is the Nandermous, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Logic.

Cerillium is ranked 28,547th in the world and 2nd in Auxilium for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
