The United Socialist States of Crysuko is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Diane Newton with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 29.78 billion Crysukons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crystin-Minokos. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The all-consuming Crysukon economy, worth a remarkable 3,429 trillion Cryzes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 115,175 Cryzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diane Newton's used car is held together by bumper stickers that support the opposition, neon signs promoting safe driving often distract drivers, Diane Newton's opponents have adopted dogs to chase away the mailman, and lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crysuko's national animal is the Domestic Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crysuko is ranked 5,638^th in the world and 2^nd in The Almondrian Collective for Longest Average Lifespans, with 92.64 years.
