The Republic of Cro28 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.311 billion Cro28ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Cro28ian economy, worth 221 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 95,728 francs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 411,406 per year while the poor average 14,234, a ratio of 28.9 to 1.

Citizens insist that there's no law against standing downwind when marijuana crops are burned off, wanting a better life for your child is prohibited by a clause in the criminal code, the government nonchalantly sells old nukes to other countries, and citizens are permitted to carry concealed handguns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cro28's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cro28 is ranked 261,586^th in the world and 97^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Most Cultured, scoring 61 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
