The Republic of Criptanaula is a mid-sized, efficient nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 50 million Criptanaulans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The thriving Tanacriptanolo economy, worth 3.51 trillion Silverdrops a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Gambling, and Book Publishing. Average income is 70,206 Silverdrops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns, a government program is underway to revitalize Criptanaula's beaches, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, and corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Criptanaula's national animal is the Grand Lure.

Criptanaula is ranked 202,547^th in the world and 2,054^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Governments, scoring 9.64 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
