The Republic of Kroken is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Arne with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 18.072 billion Krokenians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Neslandsvatn. The average income tax rate is 43.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Krokenian economy, worth a remarkable 4,850 trillion Trilqis a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 268,371 Trilqis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Construction of the Really Big Hadron Collider is underway, corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics, the government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', and the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kroken's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kroken is ranked 12,934th in the world and 330th in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 1,948.2789961562 days.
