The Democratic Isles of Crodelinam is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Dragon President with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.203 billion Crodelinamians 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Subparadi. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Crodelinamian economy, worth 427 trillion nacanes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 133,441 nacanes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, t-shirts displaying a photo of Dragon President performing the Full-Monty are selling out, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, and polling place volunteers are suddenly opening a huge number of offshore bank accounts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crodelinam's national animal is the jungle wyrm, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Wyrmism.

Crodelinam is ranked 307,364th in the world and 622nd in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -401.39 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
