The People's Republic of Cedoria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Chairman Vicktor Sorenz with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 22.118 billion Cedorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Poras. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Cedorian economy, worth a remarkable 9,099 trillion Cedorian Dollars 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 411,393 Cedorian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Faithful allies are always valued, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, and international collectors know that a grease-stain on a work of art probably means it's passed through Cedoria. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cedoria's national animal is the Giant Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

Cedoria is ranked 260,180^th in the world and 368^th in The Leftist Assembly for Nicest Citizens, with 0.84 average smiles per day.
