The Empire of Centroe is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.378 billion Centroeans enjoy frequent elections, which are uniformly corrupted by big-spending corporations buying politicians who best suit their interests.

The medium-sized, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.3%.

The very strong Centroean economy, worth 220 trillion betales a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,472 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 154,183 per year while the poor average 12,806, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

All major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Centroe's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Centroe is ranked 152,888^th in the world and 8^th in Guatemala for Safest, scoring 57.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
