The Republic of Kranez is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The President of the Republic of Kranez with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 4.031 billion Kranezians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sekong. The average income tax rate is 74.7%.

The all-consuming Kranezian economy, worth 374 trillion Kranzos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,970 Kranzos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Estate agents justify funky smells by revealing how often the previous owners showered, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, The President of the Republic of Kranez's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare.
