OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The People's Republic of Krystreta is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, ban on automobiles, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 134 million Krystretans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Environment, and Education. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Krystretan economy, worth 2.23 trillion Luds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 16,658 Luds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Krystreta Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon', many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, Leader's reputation is hard as nails, and the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krystreta's national animal is the Black swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krystreta is ranked 20,498th in the world and 13th in European Union for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 79.99 Effective Tax Rate.
