Location: The Allied States Of The Campbell Nation

Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Imperial Protectorate of Remnants of Crock is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by General Cohan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.708 billion are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Crock. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 63%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Information Technology.

People unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Remnants of Crock has found 1 easter egg), and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Remnants of Crock's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Fundamentalism, and its currency is the Imperial credit.

Remnants of Crock is ranked 5th in The Allied States Of The Campbell Nation and 101,356th in the world for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
