The People's Republic of Kryotonia is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Premier Maxwell Zeller with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 6.4 billion Kryotonians 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 juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Graylhut. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kryotoen economy, worth a remarkable 1,346 trillion Vruders a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 210,468 Vruders, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People accuse the government of being in bed with Big Safety, the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice, most Kryotonians would sell their own grandmother, and pro-democracy protesters are shot on sight by state police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kryotonia's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Troventism.

Kryotonia is ranked 2,157^th in the world and 1^st in Luminerran Card Factory for Lowest Crime Rates, with 141.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
