The Kingdom of Ceraunia is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its compulsory military service and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 217 million Ceraunians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic, pro-business government prioritizes Spirituality, although Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The very strong Ceraunian economy, worth 15.1 trillion thunderstones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 69,800 thunderstones, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 213,227 per year while the poor average 17,710, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ceraunia's national animal is the eagle.

Ceraunia is ranked 133,048^th in the world and 53^rd in Terranova for Most Patriotic, with 13.43 flags saluted per person per day.
