The Sekhmet Legionnaire of Cretanja Garrison 51 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory vegetarianism, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.007 billion Cretanjans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.8%.

The thriving Cretanjan economy, worth 246 trillion Scarabs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 61,479 Scarabs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 368,545 per year while the poor average 4,649, a ratio of 79.3 to 1.

The national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, when electric cars arrived nobody heard them coming, convicted murderers are free to walk the streets provided they attend rehabilitation classes, and treaties are taken to be mere rules of thumb. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Cretanja Garrison 51's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cretanja Garrison 51 is ranked 221,394th in the world and 5,755th in Suspicious for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.15 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
