The Gardens of Eden-burgh of CSB SA Union is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Caesar Salad Boy with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 1.479 billion CSB SA Unionians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Andrews. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CSB SA Unionian economy, worth 133 trillion Saint Pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,561 Saint Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Violetist community celebrates bombshells being dropped on CSB SA Union, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food", and one can wake up in CSB SA Union and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CSB SA Union's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Love.

CSB SA Union is ranked 71,609^th in the world and 699^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 107.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
