The United Kingdoms of Cetaros is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Champion Æthelslayer with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, soft-spoken computers, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.025 billion Ceterians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altalegio. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arxerusian economy, worth 254 trillion Royal Standards a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 125,805 Royal Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Champion Æthelslayer is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, it is often said that only Champion Æthelslayer could bring down Dàguó, and you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cetaros's national animal is the inesse, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christlic.

Cetaros is ranked 30,342^nd in the world and 55^th in Concord for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 218.24 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
