The Akkadian of Centaurus Founder is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.354 billion Centaurus Founderians 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Centaurus Founderian economy, worth 94.1 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 28,061 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centaurus Founder's national animal is the kiwi, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Centaurus Founder is ranked 191,315^th in the world and 1^st in Centauran Federation for Most Cultured, scoring 64 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
