The Federal Republic of Croteria is a huge, genial nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 636 million Croterians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Croteria City. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Croterian economy, worth 48.6 trillion Crotis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 76,480 Crotis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Croterian politicians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Croteria's national animal is the Koi Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Croteria is ranked 31,081^st in the world and 992^nd in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 807.74 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
