The Democratic Republic of The Crossland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Leo Crossland with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.476 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, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bizkit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crosslandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,793 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 189,289 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 554,604 per year while the poor average 50,958, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air The Crossland flights to avoid the pay lavatories, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. 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 31,879^th in the world and 3^rd in The Conservative Democracies for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.78 law-abiding acts per hour.
