The Socialist Republic of Krusavich is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Mighiale Gearsen with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.357 billion Krusavas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mensean. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Krusavain economy, worth a remarkable 9,846 trillion malchens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is a breathtaking 536,391 malchens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Krusavich is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and the new 'Things We Stole From Other Countries' exhibition at the National Museum of Antiquities is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krusavich's national animal is the ratel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krusavich is ranked 1,018^th in the world and 4^th in Forest for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 89,910.13 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
