The Queen's State of Cethimus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its complete lack of public education, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.527 billion Cethimusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.2%.

The very strong Cethimusian economy, worth 714 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 34,787 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 236,515 per year while the poor average 1,869, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The government is avowedly atheist, voting is voluntary, and military funding has been stripped back. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cethimus's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Cethimus is ranked 287,288^th in the world and 590^th in Ancient Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 36.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
