The Republic of Centaur is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, fear of technology, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.974 billion Centaurians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 49.8%.

The powerhouse Centaurian economy, worth a remarkable 1,940 trillion stars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,175 stars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Beat cops aren't named for the territory they patrol, the people are famous throughout the region for their perfect yellow teeth, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Centaur's national animal is the monster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Centaur is ranked 39,389^th in the world and 5^th in Equestria for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5,147.99 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
