The Empire of Empire Of Cruchan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Tzar Dymetrieus II Vledovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.37 billion Cruchanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karak Norn. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Cruchanian economy, worth a remarkable 7,612 trillion Riddermarks a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 414,396 Riddermarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Half of the nation's import/export industry is run from a location known only as 'Dead Man's Cove', the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, playground injuries are considered academic progress, and mountain rescuers refer to their new gear as the 'watchamacallits' and 'thingymabobs'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Empire Of Cruchan's national animal is the Cat and Dog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Empire Of Cruchan is ranked 187,872nd in the world and 4,265th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 65.76518707692 days.
