The Socialist Literary Society of Cellar Doors is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mithrandir with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.821 billion Cellar Doorsians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arda. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The all-consuming Cellar Doorsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,122 trillion Tolkiens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 127,223 Tolkiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Mithrandir is called 'Patches' at international summits, and royalist is the most offensive slur in the Cellar Doorsian language. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cellar Doors's national animal is the Giant Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cellar Doors is ranked 88,465th in the world and 977th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 514.78947609008 days.
