The Republic of Krill16 is a small, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 23 million Krill16ians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 64.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The struggling Krill16ian economy, worth 326 billion fds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 14,193 fds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krill16's national animal is the fd, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krill16 is ranked 251,863^rd in the world and 926^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.03 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
