The Republic of Crestor is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 117 million Crestorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Crestorian economy, worth 4.32 trillion Krons a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,943 Krons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, Phoenix sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, and viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crestor's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Crestor is ranked 34,674^th in the world and 675^th in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 834.26 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
