The Anime Empire of Cerdenia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by John Longick with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, ban on automobiles, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.641 billion Cerdenians 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 relatively small, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of People. The average income tax rate is 19.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cerdenian economy, worth 366 trillion Cerds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is 78,964 Cerds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Many whiskies taste suspiciously like automobile radiators, airplanes have giant grilles on their noses to knock drones out of their path, weather reports simply advise Cerdenians to 'look outside', and the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The City Of People Times is sold out. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Cerdenia's national animal is the Flying Potato and its national religion is God.

Cerdenia is ranked 21,267^th in the world and 30^th in Thaecia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 63,408.3 Standard Monetary Units.
