The Empire of Cruel world is a very large, genial nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 119 million Cruel worldians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Environment, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 37.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cruel worldian economy, worth 3.78 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,787 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, and the might of the entire Cruel worldian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cruel world's national animal is the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Cruel world is ranked 283,599^th in the world and 4^th in Speedgecko Isle for Highest Average Incomes, with 31,787.16 Standard Monetary Units.
