The Republic of Republiqueducroissant is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maitre Croissant with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.478 billion Croissantois enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Métropole du Grand Croissant. The average income tax rate is 80.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Croissantois economy, worth 338 trillion Dollar croissantiens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,408 Dollar croissantiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Healthcare workers are flummoxed over the spike in foreign tourists with sudden-onset heart disease, the nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republiqueducroissant's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Croissantisme.

Republiqueducroissant is ranked 13,452^nd in the world and 580^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 54.3 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
