The Kingdom of The Crimson Isles is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by King Hunter with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 834 million Crimsonians 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trentonsburg. The average income tax rate is 29.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crimson Islesian economy, worth 72.8 trillion Crimson Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,315 Crimson Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Life expectancies inside correctional facilities vastly exceed the national average, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, the nation's reputation for treachery has left it sidelined on the international stage, and the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crimson Isles's national animal is the Red-Breasted Falcon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

The Crimson Isles is ranked 206,310^th in the world and 65^th in NATO 2022 for Largest Populations, with 834 million capita.
