The Watchfires of CE-1 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, enslaved workforce, and unlimited-speed roads. The devout population of 23.378 billion CE-1ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 64.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CE-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,529 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,190 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Code enforcement officers circle wealthy CE-1ians like vultures, sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, and trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CE-1's national animal is the Dolly Varden, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

CE-1 is ranked 236,718^th in the world and 1^st in Capitalist Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.86 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
