The Confederated Socialist Union of Celedaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Supreme Council of the Proletariat with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 1.549 billion Celedarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Estrograd. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Celedarian economy, worth 220 trillion production value units a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 142,580 production value units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Celedaria's national animal is the red fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Celedaria is ranked 60,732^nd in the world and 443^rd in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 4,907.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
