The Holy Red Fishdom of Crawdad Town is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Despot Kray Feshu with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.839 billion Crawdads are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bonetown. The average income tax rate is 7.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Crawdad economy, worth 617 trillion Obs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 160,725 Obs, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.
Private businesses are paving paradises to put up parking lots, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, and equality looks curiously unequal. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Crawdad Town's national animal is the Crawfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Crawani.
Crawdad Town is ranked 29,703rd in the world and 2nd in Greater Necanica for Most Patriotic, with 43.4 flags saluted per person per day.
