The Republic of Crown 37 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its digital currency, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 6.13 billion Crown 37ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.6%.

The thriving Crown 37ian economy, worth 380 trillion salts 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. 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 62,014 salts, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Crown 37 City to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crown 37's national animal is the llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crown 37 is ranked 41,654^th in the world and 2,424^th in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 51.34 kickbacks per hour.
