The Velayati Republic of The Imagination Animals is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaiketsu Zorori with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, enslaved workforce, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.997 billion Crossoverians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crossoveriapolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crossoverian economy, worth a remarkable 5,515 trillion Crossoverian Rials 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 amazing 394,051 Crossoverian Rials, with the richest citizens earning 8.3 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, sleep-deprived officials are known to collapse after late night revision for their examinations, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Imagination Animals's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shia Islam.

The Imagination Animals is ranked 305,327^th in the world and 3^rd in Amalgamated Federation for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.83 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
