The Republic of Kroken is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Arne with an iron fist, and remarkable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 18.305 billion Krokenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neslandsvatn. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Krokenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,840 trillion Trilqis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 264,445 Trilqis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians ponder for at least a minute when asked if they would like sugar in their tea, the tax agency is feared more than serial killers and terrorists, no one believes anything until it has been strenuously tested and peer-reviewed, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kroken's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kroken is ranked 877^th in the world and 28^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 125.92 flags saluted per person per day.
