The Commonwealth of Celeste is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Frea'krömm Wulffreÿ with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.633 billion Celesteans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celestia. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Celestean economy, worth 192 trillion Celestials a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,685 Celestials, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Radiation is a hot topic, with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, and RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Celeste's national animal is the Dwcjåiän, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo-Rÿänizjw.

Celeste is ranked 17,290th in the world and 44th in The League for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,293.08 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
