The Lover Girl of Centennium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Andromisa with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.586 billion Centennials hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Terra-Andromae. The average income tax rate is 64.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Centennial economy, worth 188 trillion Apples 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 118,643 Apples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder, octogenarian swimsuit models insist that they've still got it, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and the 'three Rs' have become the 'four Rs' with the addition of Rightful Thought. Crime is totally unknown. Centennium's national animal is the Tree, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Star Sista.

Centennium is ranked 67,892^nd in the world and 128^th in Starlight for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,096.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
