The Most Serene Realm of Peoples of Celliwig is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by His Majesty's Blessed Regent with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.496 billion Nordasians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Agartha. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Celliwigian economy, worth a remarkable 1,101 trillion Rapats a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 245,077 Rapats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The cloud has been dealt a fouled hand, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celliwig's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Finalis Intellectus.

Celliwig is ranked 77,098^th in the world and 159^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,071.12 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
