The Crayola Factory of CrimsonScribbles is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Prelature Pope with an iron fist, and notable for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 16.819 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, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology industries.

Meat-eating is frowned upon, the police crack down on tax evaders without mercy, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and university graduates and new home-owners toil in labour camps to work off their debts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CrimsonScribbles's national animal is the scarlet parakeet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the crayola marker.

CrimsonScribbles is ranked 1st in Saint Margaret Mary and 50,056th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 12 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
