The Moon Lovers of Crypta is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Aris with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.197 billion Cryptanions enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Génesi elpídas. The average income tax rate is 81.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Cryptain economy, worth 92.8 trillion Sokis a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,551 Sokis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Light entertainment isn't dead, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the atmosphere in Cryptain boardrooms is turning more gay, and Max Barry is this year's Miss Crypta. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crypta's national animal is the Moon Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Genesie.

Crypta is ranked 256,873^rd in the world and 1,275^th in Europe for Most Secular, with 12.81 Atheism Rate.
