The Commonwealth of Cerrane is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 327 million Cerraneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elesrith. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cerranean economy, worth 25.0 trillion rians a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 76,567 rians, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homophobia is off the menu, a faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and refugees from other nations are flocking to Cerrane's border. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cerrane's national animal is the wren, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cerrane is ranked 314,955^th in the world and 104^th in Estalcia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
