The Republic of Celnd is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 584 million Celndians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nyelav City. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Celndian economy, worth 29.5 trillion Daris a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,505 Daris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Video game protagonists bear striking resemblances to major political figures, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, the black market offers sweet deals, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celnd's national animal is the Maine Coon Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Celnd is ranked 106,776^th in the world and 259^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,361.93 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
