The Queendom of Celdonie is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Carla Von Hesse PCP with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 34.226 billion Celdonians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bagatelle. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Celdonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,640 trillion Celdo ₵s a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,369 Celdo ₵s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Only persecuted professionals need apply for asylum, Chancellor Carla Von Hesse PCP is considering changing the Celdonian flag to one with more glitter, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, and short shrift is being given to applications for political asylum from illegal immigrants. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celdonie's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Celdonie is ranked 315,986^th in the world and 336^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -27.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
