The Empire of Crustopian is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 634 million Crustopianians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.3%.

The strong Crustopianian economy, worth 39.4 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,159 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fire stations and hospitals can't deploy emergency vehicles because badly parked cars block them in, eminent domain has been abolished, protests are prohibited from blocking traffic, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crustopian's national animal is the snail, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crustopian is ranked 249,672^nd in the world and 31^st in Adaven for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.76 kickbacks per hour.
