The Federal Republic of Krow-Bock is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, national health service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.215 billion Krowians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krow. The average income tax rate is 85.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Krow-Bockian economy, worth a remarkable 1,031 trillion Union Bills a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,406 Union Bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lonely children write fanfiction about absent fathers, politicians spend more time in courtrooms than in Parliament, songwriters compete to see who can come up with the most blasphemous lyrics, and the possibility of gain causes universal pain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krow-Bock's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Krow-Bock is ranked 269,730^th in the world and 7^th in Darc Arc Democratic Republic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -8.45 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
