The Federation of Crial is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Kaori Solaire and Emeric Andral with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.459 billion Crialians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trevanne. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Crialian economy, worth 188 trillion eipels a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,535 eipels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children who drop their ice cream are fined for littering, Trevanne has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crial's national animal is the saker falcon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Secularism.

Crial is ranked 312,768^th in the world and 7^th in Verdania for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 344.32 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
