The United Federal Republic of Cerespasia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Charles M Henschelberg with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.943 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. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cerespasian economy, worth 588 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 199,819 Cereskian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, emojis are the soul of wit, and the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper. Crime is totally unknown. Cerespasia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cerespasia is ranked 12,459^th in the world and 386^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,457.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
