The Republic of Cro47 is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its public floggings, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 2.412 billion Cro47ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cro47ian economy, worth 228 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,757 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Music teachers are commonly seen busking in order to fund their music programs, the nation's only university is the School of Hard Knocks, there has been a series of riots between local cannibals and health food advocates, and research grant proposals read like political diatribes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cro47's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Cro47 is ranked 209,046^th in the world and 95^th in Avril Lavigne Nation for Safest, scoring 56.02 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
