The Federal Republic of Cestone is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.197 billion Cestonera hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.8%.
The strong Cestonere economy, worth 79.3 trillion Cestone lires a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 66,235 Cestone lires, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.
Surveillance cameras are banned, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, and schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cestone's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Cestone is ranked 293,559th in the world and 13th in Trinity Legion for Most Conservative, scoring 22.8 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
