The Devastation of Cro Magnon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by a council of Dons with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 18.58 billion Cro Mags hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Healthcare, with Welfare and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Fire Pit. The average income tax rate is 4.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Cro Magnon economy, worth a remarkable 1,404 trillion shiny stones a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 75,597 shiny stones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, closed universities are currently being converted into MacDonald's restaurants, a survey of the nation's rivers and children has shown that pesticide levels are at an all-time regional high, and Humongo-Mart's Beef 'n Woolly Mammoth Lasagne is a hit. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cro Magnon's national animal is the Woolly Mammoth, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Darkesianism.

Cro Magnon is ranked 93,049^th in the world and 2,231^st in the West Pacific for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 2,640.69 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
