The Union of Krobach is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Illich Velmont with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.122 billion Krobachs are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kosciuszko. The average income tax rate is 83.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Krobachi economy, worth 321 trillion Anonars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,002 Anonars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations", the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, and citizens can freely debate whether Illich Velmont is a great leader or the greatest leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krobach's national animal is the Laparilla, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Krobach is ranked 45,321^st in the world and 61^st in Anteria for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,727.27 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
