The Republic of Kriezcrieg is a large, safe nation, notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, humorless population of 177 million Krizans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 62.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Krizan economy, worth 8.48 trillion gratons a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 47,923 gratons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, and elementary school children develop thousand-yard stares. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriezcrieg's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kriezcrieg is ranked 75,131^st in the world and 1^st in Liberating Freedoms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.03 law-abiding acts per hour.
