The Free Land of Cerdinia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.794 billion Cerdinians 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 is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The strong Cerdinian economy, worth 436 trillion Bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,595 Bitcoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

For the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, entire families swing in the wind at the national gallows, underage drinkers are dragged through the streets and put in the stocks, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cerdinia's national animal is the Snek, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cerdinia is ranked 251,769^th in the world and 1^st in Tharcia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 51.27 law-abiding acts per hour.
