The Federation of Krauanagaz is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 702 million Krauanagazians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yayyára. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Krauanagazian economy, worth 37.4 trillion Velliarizas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 53,296 Velliarizas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects, kids these days know how to throw a proper punch, surrogate mothers are encouraged to refer to their wombs as 'rental space', and the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krauanagaz's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Krauanagaz is ranked 33,750^th in the world and 782^nd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 80.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
