The People's Republic of Crepuscular Lands is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 2.53 billion Crepuscular Landsians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 21.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Crepuscular Landsian economy, worth 115 trillion Black Pearls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 45,598 Black Pearls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

A fashion designer has been arrested for inciting hatred after claiming redheads couldn't pull off vermillion, election results are often delayed for weeks to count the expat votes, pop sensation "Jack and the Holograms" is storming the charts, and heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crepuscular Lands's national animal is the Night Bat, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Crepuscular Lands is ranked 272,069th in the world and 3rd in The 14th Dimension for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -7.23 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
