The Order of Kranko is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Bensler Caesar with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 2.234 billion Kranks are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Drefon. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Krankoan economy, worth 293 trillion Krankengelds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 131,310 Krankengelds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arts classes now teach children how to sketch the perfect sine curve, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, punting clubs and posh accents have been added to the national curriculum, and farmers sing lullabies to soothe their livestock to sleep. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kranko's national animal is the Krankoan Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Krankoan Gnosticism.

Kranko is ranked 12,237^th in the world and 2^nd in The Finntopian Region of DOOM for Most Developed, scoring 89.44 on the Human Development Index.
