The Galactic Federal Empire of New Crios is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Dave Gale with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.099 billion Criosians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aetheria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.2%.

The thriving Criosi economy, worth 138 trillion Tundraxian credits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 65,877 Tundraxian credits, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, bored politicians often entertain themselves with games of Simon during important votes, being nicknamed "Orange Face" has done Dave Gale's credibility no favours, and a shipwreck is everyone's fault but the captain's. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Crios's national animal is the Ambient jays, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Any.

New Crios is ranked 129,019^th in the world and 2,783^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 62.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
