The Oppressive Personal Tyrandom of Cermiersia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Queen Moramia Paleni with an iron fist, and renowned for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.189 billion Cermiersians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariline. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Cermier economy, worth 850 trillion Falktikes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 202,916 Falktikes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smiling in public is seen as criminally suspicious behaviour, small shoes often wash up on the beach, AI nannies tell children who refuse to go to bed that "my logic is undeniable", and the might of the entire Cermier Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cermiersia's national animal is the Cenus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skirjisonism.

Cermiersia is ranked 343,975th in the world and 3,562nd in the Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 0.16 average smiles per day.
