The Kingdom of Cakrystan is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 224 million Cakrystanians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Welfare, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Industry and Environment are ignored. The average income tax rate is 13.5%.

The Cakryst economy, worth 10.8 trillion Crysk Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 48,226 Crysk Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The holidays begin with the traditional exchanging of aspirin, the government forces Cakrystanians to eat their vegetables, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Cakrystan's national animal is the Eurasian Bear.

Cakrystan is ranked 197,200^th in the world and 8,372^nd in Balder for Largest Governments, scoring 9.85 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
