The Republic of Criptanaula is a mid-sized, genial nation, notable for its suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working population of 56 million Criptanaulans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 10.6%.

The thriving Tanacriptanolo economy, worth 3.92 trillion Silverdrops a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 70,087 Silverdrops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

A government program is underway to revitalize Criptanaula's beaches, fifteen-year-olds cannot walk younger siblings to school without a professional Childcare and Education Certificate, corporations continue to displace native peoples off their land, and education and welfare spending are on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent. Criptanaula's national animal is the Grand Lure.

Criptanaula is ranked 249,384^th in the world and 2,323^rd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -5.48 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
