The Armed Republic of CR38 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.694 billion CR38ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 83.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CR38ian economy, worth 850 trillion cards a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 149,384 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Government programs are less "written" and more "plagiarised", popular sunny beaches always have a cloudy outlook, Leader's reputation is hard as nails, and the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR38's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CR38 is ranked 288,266^th in the world and 1,931^st in Two for Most Armed, with 0.13 weapons per person.
