The Republic of North Ceuta is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.065 billion North Ceutans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The very strong North Ceutan economy, worth 76.8 trillion euros a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 72,099 euros, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 301,088 per year while the poor average 11,263, a ratio of 26.7 to 1.

Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, billions of euros are being poured into a space program, economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, and motorists must pay to enter inner-cities during peak hours. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. North Ceuta's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

North Ceuta is ranked 108,519^th in the world and 27^th in The Mood for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
