The Imperial Federation of Crontor is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by President Christian Cranico with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed population of 6.366 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vienna. The average income tax rate is 95%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crontor's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Cronism, and its currency is the Credit.

Crontor is ranked 11th in Sondria and 94,461st in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 12 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
