The Confederacy of Cregmark is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 402 million Cregmarkians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63.1%.

The very strong Cregmarkian economy, worth 26.3 trillion Cab bucks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,494 Cab bucks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Women are often jailed for failing to fetch their husbands' slippers, rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning, women can do what they like if they do what they are told, and murderers and thieves claim divine inspiration to avoid prosecution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cregmark's national animal is the A pegasus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cregmark is ranked 117,372^nd in the world and 20^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,212.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
