The Crowned Republic of Sainte-croix is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kimi V with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 23.302 billion Crucius are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government is primarily concerned with Education, although Law & Order, Environment, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Concorde. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crucian economy, worth a remarkable 6,713 trillion Fleurs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 288,111 Fleurs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The recital of citations that follows any political speech can be longer than the speech itself, people still need you and they still feed you when you're sixty-five, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, and jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sainte-croix's national animal is the Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Temple of Lilith.

Sainte-croix is ranked 682^nd in the world and 22^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 27,839.23 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
