The Principality of Criil is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.509 billion Criilians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reeal. The average income tax rate is 68.7%.

The powerhouse Criilian economy, worth 124 trillion Saliras a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,188 Saliras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Cultural heritage is measured in Scoville Heat Units, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, one does not simply walk into the tundra, and every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Criil's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Criil is ranked 85,187^th in the world and 203^rd in The Frontier Sea for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 112.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
