The Nomadic Legion of Cruciland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Keysar David Aryelev with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, infamous sell-swords, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 22.724 billion Crucilandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kokhavkiryah. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Crucilandian economy, worth an astonishing 22,215 trillion Niqudas 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, 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 a breathtaking 977,634 Niqudas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, games of cops and robbers typically end in at least one fatal shooting, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, and secret police deal with secret crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cruciland's national animal is the sabertoothed cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Historical Christianity.

Cruciland is ranked 122^nd in the world and 1^st in Fifth Empire for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 29,608.47 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
