The Dictatorship of Crona-19 is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 162 million Crona-19ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 73.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Crona-19ian economy, worth 4.14 trillion cronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 25,525 cronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You're never too young to learn how to lie with confidence, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, countless government officials are accused of espionage, and angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crona-19's national animal is the retrovirus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crona-19 is ranked 153,713^th in the world and 1^st in Region of Ethical Dictatorships for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 375.97 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
