The Republic of Crokin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jiun Pûnj with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, anti-smoking policies, and ban on automobiles. The hard-working, devout population of 4.804 billion Crokinese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dholjùlt. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Crokinese economy, worth 319 trillion Uljols a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 66,537 Uljols, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Crokinese football team for the Maxxmas ceasefire consists only of Intelligence Corps personnel, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Crokinese Embarrassments, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crokin's national animal is the Làxidhen, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Thaltùl.

Crokin is ranked 193,865^th in the world and 6,655^th in the South Pacific for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 18,164.63 Standard Monetary Units.
