The Ascendancy of Porta Caeli is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Jan I e Caeli with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.43 billion Caelestians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ultimaportus. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Caelestic economy, worth 589 trillion Elysiums a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,047 Elysiums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The government spends millions of Elysiums every year prosecuting spammers, politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and all beauty contests have been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Porta Caeli's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ascendism.
Porta Caeli is ranked 4,823rd in the world and 140th in the West Pacific for Most Influential, scoring 14,097 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
