The Kingdom of Ceteria is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 252 million Ceterians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 13.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ceterian economy, worth 13.2 trillion CS a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,485 CS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, cutting-edge missile systems are being retrofitted to twin-prop air force biplanes, there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes, and childish pranks are no laughing matter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ceteria's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Ceteria is ranked 175,340^th in the world and 264^th in The Kodiak Republic for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 385.74 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
