“Our people are like our flag: they cannot be displayed.”

The Obviousness of stupidity of Kritschboilek is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.999 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is effectively ruled by the Department of Social Welfare, with areas such as Defence and Commerce receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 49%, but much higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising fourteen-year-old boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Citizens must pay to enjoy Kritschboilek's pristine beaches, Coelacanth is one of the most popular forenames in Kritschboilek, the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, and corporations cut costs by taking away safety-features on their products. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a major problem, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Kritschboilek's national animal is the coelacanth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the heavily-inflated Kritschboilekean dollar.

Kritschboilek is ranked 24th in the region and 55,122nd in the world for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry.
