The Republic of Cro44 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.312 billion Cro44ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Cro44ian economy, worth 197 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,221 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation refuses to provide international aid, the majority of the country's traffic wardens have been sacked overnight, even secular Cro44ians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", and the swagger of covering up is unparalleled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cro44's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cro44 is ranked 223,341^st in the world and 124^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -3.28 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
