The Holy Warriors of Crusader-4 is a colossal, efficient nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 6.899 billion Crusader-4ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Crusader-4ian economy, worth 854 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,820 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Crusader-4ian weed picker are way up, the sun now sets on the Crusader-4ian Empire, if you go into the woods today you're sure of a big surprise, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crusader-4's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Crusader-4 is ranked 203,396^th in the world and 2,047^th in Alliance of Supreme Powers for Most Extreme, scoring 14.87 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
