The Principality of Imps Cru is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Marty Walsh with an iron fist, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, strictly enforced bedtime, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 15.703 billion Imps Cruans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Boston. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Imps Cruan economy, worth a remarkable 3,868 trillion dollars 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 black market in Retail, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 an amazing 246,381 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
It's all quiet on the western front, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Imps Cru's radio stations, and citizens have to dodge their neighbors' drones while getting the morning paper. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Imps Cru's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Hard Work.
Imps Cru is ranked 10,683rd in the world and 8th in Boston for Most Stationary, with 2,260.89964330108 days.
