The Grand Monarchy of The Celtics is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rhodri Anarut with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, compulsory military service, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.5 billion Celtians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caradog. The average income tax rate is 72.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Celticsian economy, worth 701 trillion Aerowyns a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,612 Aerowyns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, serial killers share cells with serial jaywalkers, and the native owl population is in permanent hibernation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Celtics's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Paganiaeth Geltaidd.

The Celtics is ranked 176,512^th in the world and 139^th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 34,710.71 Standard Monetary Units.
