The Republic of Crindent is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Mr President with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.327 billion Crindentians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagan. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Crindentian economy, worth 688 trillion Crindentian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 159,015 Crindentian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people, refugees from other nations are flocking to Crindent's border, and formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crindent's national animal is the Snow Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crindent is ranked 186,066^th in the world and 138^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -4 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
