The Federal Republic of Crulane is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 617 million Crulaneans 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Z-City. The average income tax rate is 44.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Crulanean economy, worth 77.3 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 125,260 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
It's surprisingly hard to find pictures of the bad haircuts from Leader's childhood, there has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, children seem to be getting better at lying these days, and promising seven years of bad luck leads to seven years of community service. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Crulane's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Crulane is ranked 45,653rd in the world and 252nd in Europeia for Most Influential, scoring 1,403 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
