The Empire of Croxoco is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Charles I Aventine with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, humorless population of 22.373 billion Croxoconians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlesburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Croxoconian economy, worth a remarkable 7,688 trillion Lires a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 343,641 Lires, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,029,384 per year while the poor average 89,662, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

Good-looking soldier boys have celebrity status amongst the nation's homosexuals, every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea, and arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct. Crime is totally unknown. Croxoco's national animal is the Silver Lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Croxoconian Humanism.

Croxoco is ranked 7,700^th in the world and 7^th in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 33,139.13 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
