The Disputed Territories of Cryptopolis is a fledgling, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Cryptopolisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The strong Cryptopolisian economy, worth 410 billion Eddieses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 68,389 Eddieses, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Moles make up an incredible part of the upper crust. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cryptopolis's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cryptopolis is ranked 144,964^th in the world and 1,352^nd in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 56.47 on the Human Development Index.
