The Ever Knowledgeable Kingdom of Kruiven is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Kruiven with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic population of 20.208 billion Kruivenians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kruivenapolis. The average income tax rate is 99.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Kruivenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,929 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 194,447 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and the nation is currently revamping its entire education system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kruiven's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kruiven is ranked 227,600^th in the world and 6^th in League Of Allied Powers for Largest Black Market, with 300 billion Standard Monetary Units.
