“Actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea.”

The Holy Cheese-Loving Cheese Weasel Republic of Kryozerkia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Grand Magistrate Weasel with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 13.918 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kerzokoia. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Automobile Manufacturing.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, the government has enacted freedom of information, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is relatively low. Kryozerkia's national animal is the Waccoon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Chēz.

Kryozerkia is ranked 29th in the region and 52,461st in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
