The Union of Federal States of Ceroia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Curtis Pinnete with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 4.406 billion Ceroians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Villegagnon. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ceroian economy, worth 883 trillion Ors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 200,595 Ors, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Babysitters are a thing of the past, high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate, the government encourages conflict abroad to increase arms sales, and students do more community service than homework. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ceroia's national animal is the Golden Lion Tamarin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianism.

Ceroia is ranked 51,627^th in the world and 40^th in Portugal for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
