The Republic of Criniko5 is a large, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 136 million Criniko5ians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Spirituality, with Defense, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 27.8%.

The strong Criniko5ian economy, worth 8.14 trillion baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 59,875 baht, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Fancy dress parties are raided by military police for new recruits, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Criniko5ians like vultures, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, and programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours. Crime is totally unknown. Criniko5's national animal is the panther.

Criniko5 is ranked 135,777^th in the world and 17^th in Crimsons puppets for Most Developed, scoring 57.25 on the Human Development Index.
