The Kingdom of Old World Order is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Darius Banovic I with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.536 billion Croats of old world 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delminium. The average income tax rate is 93.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Croatian economy, worth a remarkable 1,099 trillion Kunas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,952 Kunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, delivery truck companies use hospital parking lots to store 16-wheelers, eminent domain has been abolished, and renewable energy projects have ground to a halt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Old World Order's national animal is the Dinaric Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Old World Order is ranked 5,732nd in the world and 91st in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 112.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
