The Holy Imperial Dominion of Cegatus is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Dominic Maximus II of Concord with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and parental licensing program. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.489 billion Cegatians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Christiania. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.4%.

The powerhouse Cegatian economy, worth 145 trillion Cegamarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 97,621 Cegamarks, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Research into 'designer babies' is banned, conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cegatus's national animal is the Cegatian Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Cegatus is ranked 61,829^th in the world and 108^th in Christians for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 17,158.78 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
