The Nomadic Peoples of Critters is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.091 billion Critters are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crittersian economy, worth 961 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 135,524 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, residents of houses built on a foundation of wishful thinking are prone to an odd sinking feeling, citizens are deployed to barren deserts to protect small territorial claims, and the dwindling faithful in the nation make expensive pilgrimages to the remaining places of worship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Critters's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Critters is ranked 16,534^th in the world and 3^rd in Old School Furry for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
