The Long Lost Nation of Chrystalen is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Arkacia with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 23.254 billion Chrystalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Darra. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Chrystalenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,403 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,372 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Treason is relative, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, the saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, and only those who apply can study applied maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Chrystalen's national animal is the Drop Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is mythism.

Chrystalen is ranked 32,515^th in the world and 6^th in Dragon Lair for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 50.74 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
