The Velayati Republic of The Imagination Animals is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Kaiketsu Zorori with an iron fist, and notable for its ritual sacrifices, daily referendums, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 14.117 billion Crossoverians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crossoveriapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Crossoverian economy, worth a remarkable 5,714 trillion Crossoverian Rials 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, 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 an amazing 404,789 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 7.9 times as much as the poorest.

Art is not complete without a touch of alizarin blood and titanium sweat, the "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, and renewable energy projects have ground to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imagination Animals's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

The Imagination Animals is ranked 329,739^th in the world and 3^rd in Amalgamated Federation for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -18.22 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
