The Queendom of Longcross is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 11.955 billion Longcrossians 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 38.4%.

The large but inefficient Longcrossian economy, worth 401 trillion betales 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 dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 33,577 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, employers may fire workers without giving any reason, and all major public areas are watched by police surveillance cameras. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longcross's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Longcross is ranked 277,911^th in the world and 8^th in Niedersachsen for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -66.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
