The Republic of Cstddef is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, feral children, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 10.492 billion Cstddefians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cstddefian economy, worth 597 trillion rubles 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 56,945 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Cstddefians, tourists on boat cruises can't figure out why they smell so fishy afterward, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cstddef's national animal is the panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cstddef is ranked 223,665^th in the world and 4,312^th in Artificial Solar System for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 24,543.38 Standard Monetary Units.
