The Constitutional Monarchy of Kranostav is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 5.498 billion Kranostavians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vybor. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Kranostavian economy, worth 866 trillion Traviks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 157,564 Traviks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 630,256 per year while the poor average 26,456, a ratio of 23.8 to 1.

Spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, politicians stage photo ops featuring barely functional fighter jets, for the sake of 'public interest' news programs tell viewers how to home-make Sarin gas bombs, and whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kranostav's national animal is the Desert Muskrat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Germanic Catholicism.

Kranostav is ranked 89,097^th in the world and 4,840^th in The North Pacific for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 1,020.06 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
