The Great Kingdom of Crisconsin is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Cristian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.431 billion Crisconsinites 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cristonia. The average income tax rate is 89.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Crisconsinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,221 trillion dollars 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. 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 144,842 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Napalm is the tool of choice for disabling eco-unfriendly forestry operations, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, they who do not work shall not eat, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crisconsin's national animal is the chihuahua, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Crisconsin is ranked 13,146th in the world and 821st in Balder for Lowest Crime Rates, with 96.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
