The Sekhmet Legionnaire of Cretanja Garrison 18 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.423 billion Cretanjans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osiris. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The powerhouse Cretanja Garrison 18ian economy, worth 174 trillion Crets a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 71,960 Crets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 587,267 per year while the poor average 1,906, a ratio of 308 to 1.

All footpaths have tollbooths, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, war vets look after war animals, and violent criminals are doomed to be hunted by a psychotic billionaire. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem. Cretanja Garrison 18's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Cretanja Garrison 18 is ranked 23,039th in the world and 700th in Suspicious for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,960.14 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
