The Empire of Nas Crustium is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Emperor of the Crusti with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.618 billion Crusti are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crusticant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Crusti economy, worth a remarkable 5,655 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 656,210 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 6,071,339 per year while the poor average 6,864, a ratio of 884 to 1.

Banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, infantry are nicknamed "mushrooms" because they get fed crap and are left in the dark, Crusticant's iconic yellow taxis are nowhere to be seen, and it is often said that only The Emperor of the Crusti could bring down Dàguó. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nas Crustium's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Nas Crustium is ranked 465^th in the world and 6^th in the West Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 202.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
