The People's Republic of Crestsa is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by President Daniel Valdés with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.406 billion Crestsans are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Greyhaven. The average income tax rate is 43.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crestsan economy, worth 128 trillion Novans a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,719 Novans, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, literally voiceless people are unable to protest when food and water are denied to them, construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground, and crime pays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crestsa's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is psastafirsm.

Crestsa is ranked 194,155^th in the world and 1,126^th in the Plains of Perdition for Fattest Citizens, with 9.44 Obesity Rate.
