The Velayati Republic of The Imagination Animals is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Waldemar Rochester with an even hand, and notable for its teetotalling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.891 billion Crossoverians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. 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 2,656 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 298,813 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Government officials who do an offal job get smoked, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, patients often wonder which is more annoying: their excruciating pain or their doctor incessantly praying over it, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. 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 122,845^th in the world and 93^rd in Roses Without Thorns for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,028.93 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
