The Democratic Republic of Crima Norte is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Salvius Fernando with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.561 billion Crimans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Santa Luciano. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crima Nortean economy, worth 161 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 103,524 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, Salvius Fernando's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, and explicit slash fiction is repackaged for kindergarten kids as stories about friends cuddling friends. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crima Norte's national animal is the Spear-Tooth Shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Crima Norte is ranked 25,520^th in the world and 49^th in Thaecia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 243.55 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
