The Grand Duchy of Celtland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Francis the Green Celt with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.55 billion Celts are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celtica City. The average income tax rate is 56.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Celtic economy, worth 217 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,164 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celtland's national animal is the Corgi, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Celtland is ranked 29,244th in the world and 8th in Ireland for Most Cultured, scoring 81 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
