The United Kingdoms of Cetaros is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Champion Æthelslayer with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.011 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, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Altalegio. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Arxerusian economy, worth 248 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 slick, highly efficient, 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 123,479 Royal Standards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, when shaking hands with foreign leaders Champion Æthelslayer wears an armoured gauntlet, citizens are now allowed to discuss whether Champion Æthelslayer is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, and student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come. 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 181,619^th in the world and 614^th in Concord for Safest, scoring 53.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
