The Democratic Republic of Cryptovia is a tiny, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 10 million Cryptovians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Cryptovian economy, worth 216 billion Won a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 21,607 Won, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, it's said that any enemy of democracy is a friend to Leader, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cryptovia's national animal is the Pungsan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cryptovia is ranked 145,540^th in the world and 140^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,190.96 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
