The People's Republic of Crooked Truth is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, daily referendums, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 36.067 billion Crooked Truthians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 99.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Crooked Truthian economy, worth a remarkable 6,031 trillion half truths a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. Average income is an impressive 167,216 half truths, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times, and the Crooked Truth City XV Regiment (aka "The Goat Starers") have yet to win a battle. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Crooked Truth's national animal is the weasel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crooked Truth is ranked 1,240^th in the world and 1^st in Gatesville Inc for Highest Crime Rates, with 49.02 crimes per hour.
