The Senatorial College of Cielovera is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by High Magistrate Enkidu with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The humorless population of 5.083 billion Cieloverans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zylazistratium. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cieloveran economy, worth a remarkable 1,047 trillion Rizeths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 206,174 Rizeths, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation has always been at war with Moltovea, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, politicians who misplace decimal points on expense reports are fired for gross incompetence, and snap elections are called whenever there's a chance to increase High Magistrate Enkidu's majority. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cielovera's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Cielovera is ranked 18,038^th in the world and 166^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 7,531.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
