The United Socialist States of Kredowski is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 26.433 billion Kredowskians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Kredowskian economy, worth 657 trillion rubels a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,883 rubels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, meat-eating is frowned upon, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and Kredowski has designated Kredowski City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kredowski's national animal is the bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kredowski is ranked 31,239^th in the world and 1^st in Vienna for Most Extreme, scoring 37.63 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
