Location: Elite Conservative Circuit

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Conservative Conundrum of Cretaceous Dreams is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.279 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Commerce and Defence are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dinosauria. The average income tax rate is 61%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Soda Sales and Tourism.

Motorists' locations are constantly tracked by intelligence and law enforcement agencies, anti-government web sites are springing up, citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, and people can often be seen driving to work in war-surplus tanks. Crime is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cretaceous Dreams's national animal is the velociraptor, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the shale.

Cretaceous Dreams is ranked 3rd in Elite Conservative Circuit and 9,681st in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
