The Dictatorship of The Kryvian State is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 718 million Kryvians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.1%.

The very strong Kryvian economy, worth 45.7 trillion Kryvian rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 63,668 Kryvian rubles, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 204,288 per year while the poor average 15,045, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, only the brainiest citizens become academics, and Harry Potter books are banned. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. The Kryvian State's national animal is the European bison, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Kryvian State is ranked 226,791^st in the world and 113^th in Changuu for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.38 law-abiding acts per hour.
