The Republic of Centia Deran is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Swagmaster with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.764 billion Centia Deranians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Circle City. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Centia Deranian economy, worth a remarkable 1,163 trillion Zipcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 149,853 Zipcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees his shadow, and visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Centia Deran's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Centia Deran is ranked 20,677^th in the world and 451^st in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.18 law-abiding acts per hour.
