“We will expand ourselves and eliminate the unfit!”

The Prodigious Empire of Kregore the XVI is a massive, safe nation, ruled by King Kregore XVI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.7 billion are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt 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 Festung der Habgier. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Waste is frequently shipped to other countries, CDs are regularly copy-protected, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, and the dead are minced up and sold to people in burger form. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kregore the XVI's national animal is the Raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Karminrote Ordnung, and its currency is the Bar von Gold.

Kregore the XVI is ranked 3rd in the region and 1,173rd in the world for Most Dedicated Public Healthcare.
