The Glorious and Serene Harmony of Kriov is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Kraceng Krumos with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 32.558 billion Kriovians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The enormous, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekriovia. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kriovian economy, worth a remarkable 4,134 trillion krubors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 126,996 krubors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank, and the population's jaw muscles put sharks to shame. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriov's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kriov is ranked 1,077^th in the world and 18^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 5,049.8 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
