The Constitutional Monarchy of Kranostav is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 8.011 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 35.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Kranostavian economy, worth a remarkable 1,288 trillion Traviks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,828 Traviks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 565,912 per year while the poor average 33,105, a ratio of 17.1 to 1.

Angst-filled teenagers are rushing off to buy government bonds for some odd reason, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', dessert dishes make up the Kranostavian breakfast menu, and people say chess victor The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber can kill you with mind-bullets. 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 Elder Tactedda.

Kranostav is ranked 143,398^th in the world and 8,245^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.09 Crimes Per Hour.
