The Sprawl of Crazy Waters is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grand Rider of the Ankylosauras with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.644 billion Crazy Watersians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WIBBLE. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crazy Watersian economy, worth a remarkable 2,087 trillion Horns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 125,398 Horns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the government seizes all major gold finds, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crazy Waters's national animal is the Ankylosauras, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is WhateverYouWantism.

Crazy Waters is ranked 223,031st in the world and 2,852nd in the West Pacific for Most Pro-Market, scoring 20.33 on the Rand Index.
