The Republic of Crastopolis is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.059 billion Crastopolisians are proud of their wide-ranging civil freedoms, and those who aren't tend to be dragged off the streets by men in dark suits and hustled into cars with tinted windows.

The medium-sized, liberal, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Crastopolisian economy, worth 393 trillion rubledollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 32,653 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Military pilots spend more time scraping feathers off their engines than flying their aircraft, Harry Potter books are banned, surveillance cameras are banned, and the people consider response to rudeness to be an acceptable casus belli. Crime is moderate. Crastopolis's national animal is the hawk.

Crastopolis is ranked 180,105^th in the world and 1^st in Lotus for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 315.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
