The Sinistre Mouroir of Krippling Lament is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, complete lack of prisons, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.726 billion Krippled Lamentians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kosmopolis. The average income tax rate is 98.1%.

The large but inefficient Krippling Lamentian economy, worth 605 trillion $K☠Llars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 90,034 $K☠Llars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traumatised refugees have a full bedpan shoved into their hands along with their immigration papers, every week is blindness awareness week, the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits, and the new national mascot has to be wheeled onto the field of play. Crime is totally unknown. Krippling Lament's national animal is the gymnosophist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krippling Lament is ranked 277,761^st in the world and 22^nd in Absolution for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -20.63 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
