The Republic of Criandhia is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 10.461 billion Criandhians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Criandhian economy, worth 150 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 14,349 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Criandhia's national animal is the cobra.

Criandhia is ranked 93,070^th in the world and 1,899^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Armed, with 0.48 weapons per person.
