The United Federal Republic of Cerespasia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charles M Henschelberg with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 1.973 billion Cerespasians 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 Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virton. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cerespasian economy, worth 358 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 181,710 Cereskian Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army consists of only generals and grunts, Cerespasians are fixin' ta comma any way they wanna, teenagers haven't been seen outdoors since the nation reconnected to the Internet, and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerespasia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cerespasia is ranked 39,459^th in the world and 914^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
