The CRY ME A RIVER RAIDER of Of crazed is a gargantuan, devout nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.591 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Of crazed City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 28%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing industries.

Membership in the state-owned Church of Of crazed is mandatory and all other faith organisations are banned, organ donation is compulsory, the country is preparing for war, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Of crazed City. Crime is moderate. Of crazed's national animal is the snowman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Might Makes Right, and its currency is the gun.

Of crazed is ranked 3rd in DEN Central Command and 9,609th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -4 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
