The Oppressed Peoples of Kracostan is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and complete absence of social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 317 million Kracostanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The tiny government is effectively ruled by the Department of Healthcare, although Environment is also considered important, while Industry and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 8.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Kracostanian economy, worth 6.93 trillion Bloods a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,846 Bloods, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, Leader is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished, and the government loves seeing the little people fight. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kracostan's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kracostan is ranked 31,471^st in the world and 112^th in Europeia for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 6,056.75 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
