The Armed Republic of CR99 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory vegetarianism, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.783 billion CR99ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 85.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CR99ian economy, worth 913 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 158,047 cards, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, there's never enough space in space, and copyright laws have been abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR99's national animal is the legendary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

CR99 is ranked 204,885^th in the world and 1,096^th in Two for Safest, scoring 37.97 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
