The Democratic Republic of Crastera is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 231 million Crasterans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 44.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Crasteran economy, worth 17.5 trillion Revels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 75,707 Revels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, children are raised bilingual from an early age, and the nation's forests are full of treasure hunters in military-grade survival gear. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crastera's national animal is the Peregrine Falcon.

Crastera is ranked 237,386^th in the world and 455^th in 10000 Islands for Most Primitive, scoring -120.41 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
