The Union of Soviet Socialist of Kraykon is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Secretary General Alsina Engels with an even hand, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, sprawling nuclear power plants, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 4.887 billion Kraikonians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kraykon. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kraykonian economy, worth 770 trillion Kulets 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 large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. 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 impressive 157,661 Kulets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's a common sight to see angry commuters with grenade launchers mounted on their vehicles, school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements, commercial ships often report keel and hull damage from coral reef impacts, and people of faith are sent to twelve-step programs for 'The Cure'. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Kraykon's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Kraykon is ranked 108,099^th in the world and 941^st in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 554.85 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
