The United Federal Republic of Cerespasia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Charles M Henschelberg with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.051 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. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Cerespasian economy, worth 376 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 183,435 Cereskian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

There's no cure or sympathy for the common cold, the recently unemployed can often be seen at the local homeless shelter, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and shivering secretaries type letters under torrential downpours in open-roof offices. 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 22,156^th in the world and 588^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 966.89 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
