The Crusaders of Cross Crosslet Fitchee is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Graham de Garlieb Martyr with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, parental licensing program, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.691 billion Cross Crosslet Fitcheeans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stoke-by-Guildford. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 79.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Cross Crosslet Fitcheean economy, worth a remarkable 5,517 trillion Crosses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 243,157 Crosses, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
Edutainment video games are taking Cross Crosslet Fitchee's students to the next level, the statue in the Chatwin Plaza has a solar panel for a hat, families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, and the same 22691 social media bloggers always loudly and immediately agree with Graham de Garlieb Martyr's every word on Twitcher. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cross Crosslet Fitchee's national animal is the Mongoose, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Martyrdom.
Cross Crosslet Fitchee is ranked 8,411th in the world and 482nd in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 104.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
