The Bloodcrazed Ornithocracy of Crowacia is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chancellor Warbeak - temp reagant with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, compulsory military service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.191 billion acid-faced hermits and storm crows are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yfeldes. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Crowfolk economy, worth 502 trillion souldusts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,839 souldusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, thieves find battery shops juicier targets than banks, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, and manual labourers must be willing to have cybernetic limbs to get a job. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crowacia's national animal is the thing in the corner of your eye, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Neoasatru - popular but unofficial.

Crowacia is ranked 3,401^st in the world and 59^th in Forest for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 7,854.01 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
