The Republic of Celtic Nova Scotia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The devout population of 670 million Nova Scotians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Halifax. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Celtic Nova Scotian economy, worth 41.4 trillion Nova Scotian Dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 61,784 Nova Scotian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Celtic Nova Scotia, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, ghost regiments exist only on paper, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Celtic Nova Scotia to be bombproof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celtic Nova Scotia's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Celtic Nova Scotia is ranked 290,876^th in the world and 1,674^th in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 24.3 billion Standard Monetary Units.
