The Lover Girl of Centennium is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Andromisa with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and smutty television. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.58 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 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Centennial economy, worth 187 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 118,427 Apples, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Being Andromisa has been voted one of the top ten most dangerous jobs, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, the government helps teach children how to kill a man from six paces, and it's a long jump to get onto the housing ladder. 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 17,009^th in the world and 71^st in Starlight for Most Cultured, scoring 93 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
