The Senatorial College of Cielovera is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by High Magistrate Enkidu with an iron fist, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, pith helmet sales, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 10.177 billion Cieloverans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zylazistratium. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cieloveran economy, worth a remarkable 2,190 trillion Rizeths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 215,267 Rizeths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Activists sabotage clean energy in the name of the environment, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, diplomats agree to the terms and conditions of peace treaties without reading them, and the government is purchasing vast amounts of palm oil for plastics production. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cielovera's national animal is the Panther, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism-Islam-Christianity.

Cielovera is ranked 1,848^th in the world and 37^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 847.19 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
