The Emirate of Kroeber is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 514 million culture historians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paiute. The average income tax rate is 60.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant superorganic economy, worth 7.37 trillion microcosms 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Tourism, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. 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 14,331 microcosms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, Kroeber's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, saying 'Hi Guys' to a mixed gender group of people at work is a fireable offense, and Kroeber has designated Paiute as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Kroeber's national animal is the natural scientist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kroeber is ranked 123,046^th in the world and 1^st in Mnemonics for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,301.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
