The Confederated Socialist Union of Celedaria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by the Supreme Council of the Proletariat with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory vegetarianism, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.579 billion Celedarians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrograd. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Celedarian economy, worth 226 trillion production value units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 143,510 production value units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, graffiti graces every city's streets, and burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Celedaria's national animal is the red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Celedaria is ranked 5,479^th in the world and 171^st in The Communist Bloc for Safest, scoring 129.75 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
