The Dictatorship of Krinenia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Desriv Rycarkh Kuldalc with an iron fist, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.237 billion Krinenians 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, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Krilyfokra. The average income tax rate is 36.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Krineni economy, worth 102 trillion Terrils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 83,078 Terrils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teachers label difficult children as "somebody else's problem" before expelling them, the industries of Krinenia are coughing all the way to the bank, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Krineni nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, and they who do not work shall not eat. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krinenia's national animal is the Krinenian Sturgeon, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Krinenia is ranked 129,581^st in the world and 608^th in Europe for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 839.38 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
