The Future Emperor of Thaecia of Cerdenia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by John Longick with a fair hand, and notable for its digital currency, ban on automobiles, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 5.557 billion Cerdenians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Potato People. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cerdenian economy, worth 459 trillion Cerds a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 82,640 Cerds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, one can walk from one side of City of Potato People to the other without setting foot on Cerdenian soil, there are fifty shades of yellow in outdoor swimming pools, and the same 5557 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with John Longick's every word on Twitcher. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cerdenia's national animal is the Flying Potato, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Cult of John Longick.

Cerdenia is ranked 68,839^th in the world and 176^th in Thaecia for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,474.92 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
