The Empire of Crawlisle is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by His Omniscient Excellence with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 5.026 billion Crawleans 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kosisyta. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.
The all-consuming Crawlislean economy, worth 680 trillion gelds a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 135,326 gelds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 639,061 per year while the poor average 16,981, a ratio of 37.6 to 1.
Every fourth child is born with flippers instead of hands, commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, and public enemies often walk home with spotless garments and crime records. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Crawlisle's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Crawlisle is ranked 45,083rd in the world and 474th in The East Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 14.44 Obesity Rate.
