The Federal Republic of Crustoria is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.24 billion Crustorians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Crustorian economy, worth 123 trillion Crusts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 99,629 Crusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, the sudden proliferation of nuclear weapons is very queer, and digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crustoria's national animal is the Brotadler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crustoria is ranked 178,027^th in the world and 4,310^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 750.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
