The Dictatorship of Crepitu puppis is a small, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29 million Crepitu puppisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 31.9%.

The Crepitu puppisian economy, worth 1.34 trillion doubloons a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 46,259 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, the death penalty has been reintroduced, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crepitu puppis's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Crepitu puppis is ranked 269,110^th in the world and 514^th in Vibonia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.17 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
