The Dominion of Crystal Palais is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Michael Lucerne with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 35.561 billion Crystal Palaisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mare Crisium. The average income tax rate is 1.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Crystal Palaisian economy, worth an astonishing 11,955 trillion solaris a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 336,208 solaris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, CP-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and the nation is now proudly cholera-free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Crystal Palais's national animal is the mantlion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Crystal Palais is ranked 1,665^th in the world and 2^nd in The Heartland for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
