The Federal Republic of Crustoria is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.251 billion Crustorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 73.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Crustorian economy, worth 125 trillion Crusts 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 Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,684 Crusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Criminals are thrown to the Brotadlers to repay their debt to society, the GPS-tracked jogging routes of military personnel are a possible security risk, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crustoria's national animal is the Brotadler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Crustoria is ranked 218,979th in the world and 4,656th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.54 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
