Location: the Greater German Reich

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Assimilated Nanobot Empire of Cruciland is a huge, safe nation, ruled by הקיסר ללבןצצל with an iron fist, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 870 million are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of כוכבבורו. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Tourists need only sign on the dotted line to become citizens, only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations, and mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Cruciland's national animal is the retard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Point.

Cruciland is ranked 17th in the Greater German Reich and 4,416th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
