The Armed Republic of Celtician is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Donn with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.793 billion Celts are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tech Duinn. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Celticianian economy, worth an astonishing 26,856 trillion Oricalcums 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 a breathtaking 901,445 Oricalcums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreigners write "made in Celtician" on shoddy merchandise in hope of receiving a buy-out, an increasing number of knights in shining armor suffer from PTSD, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Celtician's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Order of Donn.

Celtician is ranked 45th in the world and 2nd in Lazarus for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 114.37 Effective Tax Rate.
