The Baasskap of Krich Aerd is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Groussherzog Leopold Malan III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.229 billion Vegters are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Environment also on the agenda, while Social Policy and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of éiweg Festungs Provënz Hexen. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Hollänesch economy, worth a remarkable 2,832 trillion Krichmarks 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, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing 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 454,728 Krichmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', state officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Groussherzog Leopold Malan III's portrait, the nation's new religious police burn blasphemers on bonfires of their own books, and the sound of wooden legs echo throughout Krich Aerd after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krich Aerd's national animal is the Roude Léiw, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Oranjekatolisisme.

Krich Aerd is ranked 218,281^st in the world and 22^nd in Nuevo Amanecer for Nudest, with 2.5 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
