The Republic of Centaina is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Óscar Joaquín Santiago with an even hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, avant-garde cinema, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 2.019 billion Centainians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fort Satine. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Centainan economy, worth 207 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,572 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents dread their examinations more than their children, serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, public shaming is the bedrock of Centainan society, and contestants on Centaina's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centaina's national animal is the Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Centaina is ranked 221,806^th in the world and 494^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -3.35 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
