Overview • Factbook • Dispatches • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Velayati Republic of The Imagination Animals is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Waldemar Rochester with an iron fist, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.91 billion Crossoverians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crossoveripolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crossoverian economy, worth a remarkable 2,652 trillion Crossoverian Rials a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 297,687 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 6.7 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is banned, roosters that herald the rising sun are immediately sent to the slaughterhouse, heretic deviants are free to practice their deviance outside of The Imagination Animals, and Opossums with strange deformities like three eyes and tentacles have been seen prancing through the countryside where industrial waste is dumped. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imagination Animals's national animal is the Opossum, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

The Imagination Animals is ranked 288,874^th in the world and 212^th in Roses Without Thorns for Safest, scoring 4.26 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
