The Armed Republic of Celtician is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Donn with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 33.189 billion Celts 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, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tech Duinn. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Celticianian economy, worth an astonishing 29,341 trillion Oricalcums 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 884,066 Oricalcums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Populations of two-headed Wolves have been found around recently-uncovered archaeological sites, one-man canoes fitted with the latest tracking technology leave no room for one man, it's rare to find an unchewed pencil, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celtician's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Donn.

Celtician is ranked 14,923^rd in the world and 795^th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 88.33 on the Human Development Index.
