The Republic of Creostan is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.138 billion Creostanians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acophis. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Creostanian economy, worth 124 trillion Cretas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 109,014 Cretas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lovesick people are told 'it's not them, it's you', being able to unblock a u-bend pipe is considered a universally essential skill, Creostanians believe manners maketh the leader, and the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Cockatiel Dung" has been declared a national treasure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Creostan's national animal is the Cockatiel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Creostan is ranked 257,677^th in the world and 1,287^th in Europe for Nudest, with 63 cheeks per square mile.
