The Empire of Kranoria is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Borislav Kranoriansky with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.426 billion Kranorians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kranorislavia. The average income tax rate is 61.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kranorian economy, worth 417 trillion rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 172,171 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, and giant no-kill traps baited with Bapst Red Ribbon and vintage bicycles have been popping up in back alleys nationwide. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kranoria's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kranoria is ranked 37,707^th in the world and 65^th in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,645.06 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
