The Kingdom of Kractero is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lander I with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 26.388 billion Kracterians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Education, Defense, and Administration also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Merdas. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kracterian economy, worth an astonishing 14,132 trillion curios a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 535,552 curios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 5,002,774 per year while the poor average 4,988, a ratio of 1,002 to 1.

The government is funding experimental battery technology while the power grid continues to crumble, skateparks can be found in every city, the government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, and a child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing. Crime, especially youth-related, is so common that it is unusual to encounter someone following the law, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Kractero's national animal is the auk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is animism.

Kractero is ranked 22,939^th in the world and 77^th in Herta Space Station for Largest Black Market, with 141 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
