The Federal Islamic Republic of Cereskia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Taliq Agung with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 2.577 billion Cereskians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Astrana. The average income tax rate is 75.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Cereskian economy, worth 564 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 218,872 Cereskian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Teachers are dying as they attempt to read 500 word essays without pausing for breath, the end of autumn is celebrated with a bonfire of designer bags, the government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, and immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cereskia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Shīa Islam.

Cereskia is ranked 6,023^rd in the world and 300^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 15,749.76 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
