The Kingdom of Cedros is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Lorenzo Marcos Agustín Monreal IV with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.03 billion Cedrosanos 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Industry also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Monreal. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cedrosano economy, worth 240 trillion Escudos a year, is mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 118,246 Escudos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and 90% of active duty CAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cedros's national animal is the Cedrosano Preto, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Cedros is ranked 186,649^th in the world and 5^th in Coalition of Federalist States for Safest, scoring 53.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
