The Nomadic Legion of Cruciland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Keysar David Aryelev with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 23.744 billion Crucilandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kokhavkiryah. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Crucilandian economy, worth an astonishing 23,010 trillion Niqudas 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. 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 a breathtaking 969,095 Niqudas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
State media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Kokhavkiryah, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV programme in Cruciland, and the government sends submarines to retrieve bodies from shipwrecked submarines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cruciland's national animal is the sabertoothed cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Historical Christianity.
Cruciland is ranked 309,421st in the world and 153rd in Fifth Empire for Fattest Citizens, with 0.88 Obesity Rate.
