The Democratic States of Cellenska is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 29 million Cellenskans 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 relatively small government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 14.9%.

The Cellenskan economy, worth 1.50 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,878 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, military spending is on the increase, 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cellenska's national animal is the wolf, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cellenska is ranked 160,974^th in the world and 75^th in The Pacifica for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,244.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
