The IxProtectorate of Crasoa is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its national health service, public floggings, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-working, cynical population of 2.729 billion Crasoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Island City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.6%.

The powerhouse Crasoan economy, worth 189 trillion Crusty Bucks a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,550 Crusty Bucks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 217,427 per year while the poor average 17,070, a ratio of 12.7 to 1.

Leader is worshipped as a god, hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Crasoa to be bombproof, and gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crasoa's national animal is the Southern Pidgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crasoa is ranked 251,268^th in the world and 1^st in Crasoa for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -6.33 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
