The Protectorate of The Citrus Republic is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 422 million Citrus Republicians 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 juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ponderosa. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.3%.

The very strong Citrus Republician economy, worth 30.7 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 72,701 credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, signs saying "No Poor People or Weirdoes" are common outside shops and cafés, and people make a career out of medical voyeurism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Citrus Republic's national animal is the lemon shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Citrus Republic is ranked 118,912^th in the world and 5^th in Duccian Wild Lands for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 2,037.86 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
