The Ministerial Council of Cessarea is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Feathers-of-Burgundy with a fair hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.833 billion Cessareans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cessarea-Barnaus. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cessarean economy, worth 952 trillion labores a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 139,427 labores, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats devote many man-hours to trying to measure unquantifiables, vegetarianism is compulsory, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and moles make up an incredible part of the upper crust. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cessarea's national animal is the Builder-pidgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cessarea is ranked 176,669th in the world and 344th in Starlight for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 126.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
