The Kingdom of Kronwal is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Sweyn mac Dhaidh with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, anti-smoking policies, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 5.191 billion Kronwalians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eò Lewis Acropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Kronwalian economy, worth 503 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 97,087 coins, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government says that Possession is nine-tenths of the Lore, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, tensions between the young and old have risen to record levels, and the populace harbors a fierce hatred of the metric system. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kronwal's national animal is the Griffon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is The one holy catholic apostolic Church.

Kronwal is ranked 198,812^th in the world and 5^th in The Phoenix Imperium for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 29,708.65 Standard Monetary Units.
