The Theocracy of The CCS Founder is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by the Founder with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 23.036 billion CCS Founderians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Citadel. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The very strong CCS Founderian economy, worth a remarkable 1,489 trillion Blessings 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, 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 64,674 Blessings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, the election for the Founder's office's janitor is heating up, and female restaurant chefs are not allowed to have male customers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The CCS Founder's national animal is the lamb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The CCS Founder is ranked 283,142nd in the world and 14,985th in Lazarus for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,051.07 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
