The Imperial Province of Christantle is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Aleriel Saelihn with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.671 billion Amadorian have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Levelan. The average income tax rate is 60.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Amadorian economy, worth 198 trillion Aureuses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 119,065 Aureuses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Many feel that the government's ban on cars to combat reckless driving was "a tad excessive", the entire entry for Christantle in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, and faceless corporations are expected to assume parental responsibility over millions of teenagers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Christantle's national animal is the Bald Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Ithronel.

Christantle is ranked 207,650^th in the world and 3^rd in The Levanora Vastness for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 191.17 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
