The Kingdom of Kractero is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Landr I with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 26.134 billion Kratrians 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 are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mrdas. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Kractrian economy, worth an astonishing 13,858 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 530,283 curios, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 4,951,636 per year while the poor average 4,964, a ratio of 997 to 1.

The government is lax about national security during the Christmas period (Kractero has found 12 easter eggs), both vegetables and viruses are often smuggled across the border, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, and it's often raining men (hallelujah) in Mrdas. 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 178,323^rd in the world and 2,431^st in Herta Space Station for Most Patriotic, with 8.14 flags saluted per person per day.
