The United Provinces of Crisen is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 730 million Crisenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 42.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Crisenian economy, worth 26.5 trillion Crisenian Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,294 Crisenian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Billions are being spent on a new island airport, schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, out-of-work basketball players loom over the unemployment line, and the Treasury has been accused of flushing money down the toilet. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crisen's national animal is the Brown Cougar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Crisen is ranked 222,498^th in the world and 833^rd in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3.95 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
