The Allied States of Kreative Disturbance is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.923 billion love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Social Equality, although Healthcare and Commerce are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kreative Disturbance City. The average income tax rate is 83%, and even higher for the wealthy. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Tourism.

The children of Kreative Disturbance are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, the nation's gigantic air force is both respected and feared, the nationalized auto industry is adept at making durable little cars nobody wants to drive, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kreative Disturbance's national animal is the Donkey, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is a major religion, and its currency is the Imaginary Mouse.

Kreative Disturbance is ranked 3rd in Keglen and 13,686th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 31 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
