The Democratic Republic of The Crossland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Leo Crossland with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.542 billion Crosslandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bizkit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Crosslandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,803 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 189,013 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 553,795 per year while the poor average 50,884, a ratio of 10.9 to 1.

Hammering a nail into a wall is an effective death sentence, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air The Crossland flights to avoid the pay lavatories, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crossland's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shadyism.

The Crossland is ranked 39,100^th in the world and 4^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,304.67 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
