The Malthusian Fecundity of Celtic Rodents is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Ultimate Squeaker with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, sprawling nuclear power plants, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 41.298 billion Scurriers live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Everywhere. The average income tax rate is 1.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Scurrian economy, worth an astonishing 11,009 trillion mythical groats a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Retail. Average income is an amazing 266,585 mythical groats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-mythical groat charge on their phone bill, street preachers sell salvation with a side order of shame on every corner, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Celtic Rodents's national animal is the small furry beastie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is None.

Celtic Rodents is ranked 288,810th in the world and 6,308th in The North Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2.63 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
