The Constitutional Monarchy of Kranostav is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 6.965 billion Kranostavians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

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 29.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Kranostavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,133 trillion Traviks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 162,686 Traviks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 586,330 per year while the poor average 32,274, a ratio of 18.2 to 1.

Vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Kranostavian mussels the biggest in The North Pacific, people seem disproportionately distraught when told a museum has a phones-off policy, the nation's faithful often say there is a higher power watching over them, and elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes. 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 14,342^nd in the world and 919^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 7,985.09 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
