The Republic of Cerunica is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 313 million Cerunicans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cerunican economy, worth 20.5 trillion Meowmeows a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,544 Meowmeows, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue", ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, and Cerunica has designated Cerunica City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerunica's national animal is the Jackalope, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cerunica is ranked 83,108^th in the world and 42^nd in Atlanticana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,100.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
