The People's Republic of Crestsa is a massive, safe nation, ruled by President Daniel Valdés with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.037 billion Crestsans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greyhaven. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Crestsan economy, worth 90.5 trillion Novans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 87,264 Novans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, snap elections are called over every minor impasse, psastafirsm has been named as Crestsa's national religion, and dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crestsa's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is psastafirsm.

Crestsa is ranked 266,868^th in the world and 1,747^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.77 kickbacks per hour.
