The Sovereign Orbital Vessel of Cretanja is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Rosnja Sensata with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 17.853 billion Cretanjans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cretanja. The average income tax rate is 87.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cretanjan economy, worth a remarkable 2,073 trillion Cretnotes 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 116,121 Cretnotes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, all guns must be registered, and soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cretanja's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sensata Reverence.

Cretanja is ranked 83,415^th in the world and 3,285^th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,589.16 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
