The Empire of Crusaders Beautemps is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 298 million Crusaders Beautempsians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Healthcare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 62.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Crusaders Beautempsian economy, worth 7.96 trillion silver coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,708 silver coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fashion models are guaranteed to be 100% genuinely as anorexic as they appear on magazine covers, the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons, it's never "just a game" with Crusaders Beautempsian sports fans, and deceased politicians' MyFace profiles are unanimously pro-incumbent. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crusaders Beautemps's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Crusaders Beautemps is ranked 58,235^th in the world and 196^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 99.54 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
