The Sultanate of Caellip Major is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Thadius Lafontaine with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 6.693 billion Caellip Majorians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Diophoria. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Caellip Majorian economy, worth 270 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,428 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Caellip Major's national animal is the Red Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Caellip Major is ranked 16,702^nd in the world and 978^th in Lazarus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,760.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
