The Nationstates Blue Holy of The Crusader Kings is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Elector Count Demetrian with an iron fist, and renowned for its compulsory military service, fear of technology, and frequent executions. The cynical, devout population of 1.758 billion Crusaders 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nova Jerusalem. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 23.9%.

The powerhouse Crusader economy, worth 205 trillion Gold Bars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 116,853 Gold Bars, with the richest citizens earning 7.8 times as much as the poorest.

'Dovenado 6: You Gotta Be Kidding Me' is this summer's top-grossing movie, punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements, prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, and money can't buy love but mercy is entirely negotiable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crusader Kings's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

The Crusader Kings is ranked 67,746^th in the world and 4^th in The Mood for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,510.82 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
