The Holy Empire of Cegtonkia is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, unlimited-speed roads, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 9.223 billion Cegtonkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28.6%.
The strong Cegtonkian economy, worth 636 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 69,027 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.
Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, homeless people dying of starvation are thought to be a necessary cost of preventing terrorism, and gun ownership is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cegtonkia's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cegtonkia is ranked 210,547th in the world and 3rd in Denmark for Most Stationary, with 36.43128223952 days.
