The Empire of Crossia is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Severnyy Korol' with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed population of 6.819 billion Crossians 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, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Voton. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Crossian economy, worth 938 trillion Silver Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 137,611 Silver Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers must key in their passwords every time they want to reload their weapons, residential tower blocks are surrounded by warrens of concrete tunnels, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, and families make most of their annual income from government benefits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crossia's national animal is the Double-Headed White Tailed Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Crossia is ranked 265,384^th in the world and 10,059^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
