The Constitutional Monarchy of Craiglang is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Counsellor McVitty with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.048 billion 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 large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jenny's. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Craiglangian economy, worth 146 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 71,605 Pound Sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Inheritance tax has recently been abolished, cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, sharks are enjoying their deliveries of canned food, and open-casket funerals are avoided at all cost. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Craiglang's national animal is the Cane Toad, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Craiglang is ranked 16,453^rd in the world and 39^th in The Western Isles for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 15.53 Bank.
