The Constitutional Monarchy of Cielburg is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by rex de caelo with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.535 billion Cielburgians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Urbcaelo. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Cielburgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,436 trillion Shahis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 219,877 Shahis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The children of Cielburg are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and getting a blood transfusion from a Cielburgian entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cielburg's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Cielburg is ranked 6,801^st in the world and 353^rd in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,983.69 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
