The Comply or Die of Kranostav is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.19 billion Kranostavians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vybor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kranostavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,770 trillion Traviks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 173,740 Traviks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 926,895 per year while the poor average 17,114, a ratio of 54.2 to 1.

Industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, agricultural employees work for peanuts, dissident voters are sent on a 'relaxing break' at the Ministry of Love, and one can walk from one side of Vybor to the other without setting foot on Kranostavian soil. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kranostav's national animal is the Desert Muskrat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elder Tactedda.

Kranostav is ranked 12,963^rd in the world and 843^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,263.12 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
