The United Federal Republic of Cerespasia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Charles M Henschelberg with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.04 billion Cerespasians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Cerespasian economy, worth 373 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 182,961 Cereskian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, and Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerespasia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cerespasia is ranked 20,149^th in the world and 406^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,016.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
