The Marine Radio Operator of Cerespasia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Charles M Henschelberg with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.992 billion Cerespasians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Virton. The average income tax rate is 69.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cerespasian economy, worth 596 trillion Cereskian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 199,429 Cereskian Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rare steaks seem even bluer now, the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, stuttering trypanophobes are doomed never to marry, and burgers often list "miscellaneous meats" in their ingredients. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerespasia's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cerespasia is ranked 10,361^st in the world and 248^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 122,810.78 Standard Monetary Units.
