The Kingdom of The Crimson Isles is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by King Hunter with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 5.546 billion Crimsonians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trentonsburg. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crimson Islesian economy, worth 561 trillion Crimson Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 101,213 Crimson Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas, bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, youth rights demonstrations often end in vicious snowball fights, and crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crimson Isles's national animal is the Red-Breasted Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Crimson Isles is ranked 189,933^rd in the world and 10^th in New Lacia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,106.55 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
