The Armed Republic of CR32 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.727 billion CR32ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 79.6%.
The frighteningly efficient CR32ian economy, worth 884 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 154,504 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
Party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, the CBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and charity fundraisers often resemble minstrel shows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR32's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
CR32 is ranked 21,509th in the world and 1,326th in Two for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,747.8 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
