The Federal Republic of Crindent is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Mr President with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.175 billion Crindentians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagan. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Crindentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,848 trillion Crindentian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 165,379 Crindentian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters travel in zigzags to avoid stalking accusations, the Crindentian Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas, radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, and the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Crindentians make research institutes rich. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crindent's national animal is the Snow Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crindent is ranked 284,484^th in the world and 75^th in The Social Liberal Union for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -14.07 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
