The Kingdom of Cryptozoologica is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 16.436 billion Cryptozoologicans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Cryptozoologican economy, worth a remarkable 4,142 trillion Questions a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 252,018 Questions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,042,887 per year while the poor average 39,982, a ratio of 26.1 to 1.
Baby boys who pick up pink crayons are sent to a psychiatric ward, the government violently suppresses separatist movements, children in school playgrounds can be heard chanting the hymns of the Order of Violet, and matryoshka dolls resembling nested Death Stars are commonly sold. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cryptozoologica's national animal is the Chymera, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Cryptozoologica is ranked 7,412th in the world and 175th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
