The Democratic Republic of The Crossland is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Leo Crossland with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.796 billion Crosslandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bizkit. The average income tax rate is 70.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Crosslandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,066 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 191,397 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Phenotypic plasticity is a struggle for sealife in polluted waters, charity workers were first up against the wall when the time came, military spending recently hit a new high, and even secular Crosslandians are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crossland's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shadyism.

The Crossland is ranked 12,786th in the world and 2nd in The Conservative Democracies for Highest Average Incomes, with 191,397.65 Standard Monetary Units.
