The People's Republic of Celdonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.904 billion Celdonians 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Celdonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,996 trillion Thennats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 195,978 Thennats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, a new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Celdonia City" t-shirts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celdonia's national animal is the Beaver, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Celdonia is ranked 4,933^rd in the world and 3^rd in Anticapitalist Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 116.83 law-abiding acts per hour.
