The Oppressed Peoples of Kracostan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 364 million Kracostanians 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 tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Healthcare, with Environment also on the agenda, while Industry and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 9.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kracostanian economy, worth 8.10 trillion Bloods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 22,255 Bloods, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kracostan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kracostan is ranked 235,686^th in the world and 566^th in Europeia for Largest Populations, with 364 million capita.
