The Democratic Republic of Cestano is a tiny, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its ban on automobiles. The devout population of 10 million Cestanoans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cestanoan economy, worth 392 billion Eraks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,229 Eraks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is compulsory, cars are banned, gambling is outlawed, and the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cestano's national animal is the gopher, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cestano is ranked 133,475th in the world and 147th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Most Conservative, scoring 58.17 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
