The Free Territory of Cerdenia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by John Longick with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.863 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 minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Godly Potato. The average income tax rate is 3.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cerdenian economy, worth 869 trillion Potatoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 110,633 Potatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

People say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, most people learn to drive on crash courses, annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt, and citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cerdenia's national animal is the Flying Potato, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Cult of John Longick.

Cerdenia is ranked 38,027^th in the world and 110^th in Thaecia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 51,249.67 Standard Monetary Units.
