The Republic of Republiqueducroissant is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Maitre Croissant with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.372 billion Croissantois enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Métropole du Grand Croissant. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Croissantois economy, worth 327 trillion Dollar croissantiens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,080 Dollar croissantiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough, adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives, and high school boys are required to pass vigorous self-mastery and sensitivity training to graduate. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republiqueducroissant's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Croissantisme.

Republiqueducroissant is ranked 20,143^rd in the world and 806^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 92 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
