The Federal State of Central Nation is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its prohibition of alcohol, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 45.035 billion Central Nation Citizens are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Copenhagen. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Central Nation Citizens economy, worth a remarkable 5,830 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 129,456 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Frisbee games on college quadrangles are grounds for expulsion, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name, and teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Nation's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Messianic Judaism.

Central Nation is ranked 291,072nd in the world and 54th in North America for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -42.02 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
