The Oppressed Peoples of Kracostan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 248 million Kracostanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Healthcare, with Industry and International Aid not funded at all. The average income tax rate is 7.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kracostanian economy, worth 5.94 trillion Bloods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,964 Bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kracostan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kracostan is ranked 243,002^nd in the world and 1,137^th in Europeia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.95 law-abiding acts per hour.
