The Dominion of Krashnika is a large, genial nation, renowned for its fear of technology, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 180 million Krashnikans 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Krashnikan economy, worth 1.62 trillion Kubels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 9,026 Kubels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians post explicit photos of themselves on community notice boards, Krashnikans are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, one complaint of Krashnika's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, and school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krashnika's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krashnika is ranked 209,942^nd in the world and 11,743^rd in Lazarus for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 834.79 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
