The Golden Empire of Kratistolies is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Primarch with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 26.752 billion Kratosians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kallipolis. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Kratosian economy, worth an astonishing 12,816 trillion Drachmas 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 479,086 Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem", it turns out that you actually can put a price on intangible cultural heritage, the endangered saltwater humpback Dragon is only seen in captivity programs, and worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kratistolies's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Atheistic State Worship.

Kratistolies is ranked 10,735^th in the world and 345^th in Lazarus for Largest Populations, with 26.8 billion capita.
