The Republic of Cristopheria is a fledgling, socially progressive nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 5 million Cristopherians 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 Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 15.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Cristopherian economy, worth 246 billion Bons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,141 Bons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, cotton candy made from genuine cotton cellulose doesn't quite satisfy, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and it is illegal to make racist remarks in public. Crime is well under control. Cristopheria's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cristopheria is ranked 109,588^th in the world and 132^nd in Aeternum for Highest Poor Incomes, with 28,800.3 Standard Monetary Units.
