The Federation of Crypthic is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Jay with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.025 billion Crypthicians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cyphrus. The average income tax rate is 28.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crypthician economy, worth a remarkable 2,372 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 236,630 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Museums claim to have displayed famous artwork before it was cool, death is nobody's business, pillows outnumber picket signs at most workers rallies, and exterminator companies deploy nerve gas in turf wars. Crime is totally unknown. Crypthic's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Crypthic is ranked 1,508^th in the world and 1^st in Caer Sidi for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 71,550.81 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
