The Armed Republic of CR86 is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.691 billion CR86ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient CR86ian economy, worth 812 trillion cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 142,774 cards, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maritime signalling has become tedious since only the CR86ian flag can be displayed, party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", and 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR86's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CR86 is ranked 15,560^th in the world and 306^th in Two for Highest Poor Incomes, with 103,312 Standard Monetary Units.
