The Novgorodian State of Krestyana is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 626 million Novgorodians 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, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velikiy Novgorod. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Novgorodian economy, worth 102 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 164,287 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, any girl that shows an interest in Lego is pressured to study engineering, pollution is on the rise along with government approvals of fracking projects, and homeowners are evicted to make way for new runways. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krestyana's national animal is the Russian Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Krestyana is ranked 85,736^th in the world and 1,120^th in The Communist Bloc for Healthiest Citizens, with 3.3 bananas ingested per day.
