The Knight of Crusader-30 is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 1.943 billion Crusader-30ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Crusader-30ian economy, worth 125 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,434 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Chickens frolic freely on swings and roundabouts in Crusader-30 City's playgrounds, anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, and the most popular WhoTube videos are ones featuring parodies of iconic songs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crusader-30's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Crusader-30 is ranked 28,169th in the world and 13th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,517.99 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
