The Constitutional Monarchy of Craiglang is a large, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 69 million Decrepit Auld Bastards hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 20.3%.

The very strong Craiglangian economy, worth 4.25 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 61,616 Pound Sterlings, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed, and the nation is renowned abroad for its love of blood and guts. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Craiglang's national animal is the Cane Toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Craiglang is ranked 29,863^rd in the world and 19^th in The Western Isles for Highest Crime Rates, with 13.68 Crimes Per Hour.
