The Celduin

Population230 million

CurrencyEyrir
AnimalThrush

The United Kingdom of The Celduin is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ban on automobiles, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 230 million Celduinians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.2%.

The strong Celduinic economy, worth 12.2 trillion Eyrirs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 52,996 Eyrirs, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's relatives have been married into the royal families of foreign nations against their will, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), university applicants are judged by how much they laugh at professors' tired jokes, and when shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Celduin's national animal is the Thrush, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Celduin is ranked 255,023rd in the world and 38th in Middle Earth for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,518.43 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
