The Most Serene Republic of Ceterunya is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 604 million Catalans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Barcelona. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Català economy, worth 75.3 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 124,737 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, and people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ceterunya's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ceterunya is ranked 76,457^th in the world and 1^st in Forward Nations for Highest Drug Use, scoring 219.85 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
