Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Empire of Crimmond is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Mobuto with an iron fist, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 20.168 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skye. The average income tax rate is 39%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, gun ownership is compulsory, children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces, and the police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crimmond's national animal is the gray wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Crimmar.

Crimmond is ranked 30th in Gholgoth and 9,075th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
