The Federation of Centas is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Allan C Harrington with an iron fist, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 2.555 billion Centasians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centasi. The average income tax rate is 54.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Centasian economy, worth 560 trillion Centasian Cents a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 219,102 Centasian Cents, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

This year's comedy award has left mothers-in-law seething, the government proudly leads the world in environmental regulators per capita, more than one company makes the board game Monopoly, and the government is reining in public spending. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centas's national animal is the Crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Centas is ranked 1,193^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Frontier Sea for Most Secular, with 99.14 Atheism Rate.
