The United Industrial Communes of Cephesylon is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Bukhahno Juanos with a fair hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.28 billion Cephesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skopolis. The average income tax rate is 95.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Cephesylonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,057 trillion Cefezties a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 168,441 Cefezties, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teach an angler how to phish and he can make a living, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and children must be board certified to append "Jr" to their name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cephesylon's national animal is the Cephesian Double Headed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cephesian JEBism.

Cephesylon is ranked 273,402^nd in the world and 66^th in The Social Liberal Union for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 8,253.61 Standard Monetary Units.
