The Republic of Loupmoon Cryst is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 3.221 billion Loupmoon Crystians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Loupmoon Crystian economy, worth 200 trillion bitcoins 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 Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 62,151 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Toddler groups have taken over local libraries, programmers often reinvent the wheel, hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, and internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Loupmoon Crystian weed picker are way up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loupmoon Cryst's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Loupmoon Cryst is ranked 111,753^rd in the world and 1^st in Togetsu for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,278.51 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
