The Grand Duchy of Kriesregland is a large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 50 million Kriesreglandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.7%.

The Kriesreglandian economy, worth 2.32 trillion Kriesregish Ounces a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,368 Kriesregish Ounces, with the richest citizens earning 8.2 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriesregland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kriesregland is ranked 56,299^th in the world and 109^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Beautiful Environments, with 659.33 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
