The United States of Kruitezia is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by The Eternal Declan with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.083 billion Kruitezi are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vældun. The average income tax rate is 90.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kruitezi economy, worth a remarkable 1,800 trillion Ĕgrons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 222,707 Ĕgrons, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Mathematics majors learn about new ways to model their crushing debt, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, terrorism and assassination are tried-and-true methods of political activism, and hot dogs have been renamed lukewarm pigs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kruitezia's national animal is the Gopher, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Declanism.

Kruitezia is ranked 7,294^th in the world and 6^th in The Kodiak Republic for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 47,267.07 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
