The Empire of Kreigschutz is a large, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 134 million Kreigs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.9%.

The strong Kreig economy, worth 9.52 trillion Kreigzens a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,081 Kreigzens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 257,743 per year while the poor average 13,968, a ratio of 18.5 to 1.

The secret service is working overtime to find anyone publishing unauthorized material about Leader, policemen regularly conduct midnight raids on closed donut shops to 'collect evidence', contestants on Kreigschutz's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, and maximum security Kreig subway stations inspire prison systems around the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kreigschutz's national animal is the Marlin.

Kreigschutz is ranked 85,604^th in the world and 25^th in Benigtopia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,126.7 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
