The Empire of Kratistolies is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Emperor with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate population of 2.257 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kratistopolis. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the government has enacted freedom of information, pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are sold freely by the government, and all footpaths have tollbooths. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kratistolies's national animal is the Dragon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Atheistic Emperor Worship, and its currency is the Drachma.

Kratistolies is ranked 17th in The New Inquisition and 4,335th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 112 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
