The Socially Democratic State of Crystia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sameh Ranim Mansour with a fair hand, and notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.352 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Education, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cryvata. The average income tax rate is 97%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, surveillance cameras are banned, almost all of Crystia's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and extreme political groups are outlawed. Crime is totally unknown. Crystia's national animal is the Dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Cryoney.

Crystia is ranked 1,585th in Osiris and 73,034th in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 16 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
