The Republic of Criptanaula is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 409 million Criptanaulans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sirtsela. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Tanacriptanolo economy, worth 28.9 trillion Silverdrops a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,652 Silverdrops, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The new one Silverdrop coin also makes a handy throwing-star, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Criptanaula's national animal is the Grand Lure, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Criptanaula is ranked 46,782^nd in the world and 387^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 2,052.09 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
