The Most Serene Republic of Crossory is a large, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 128 million Crossoryians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.6%.

The very strong Crossoryian economy, worth 8.63 trillion Thingamabobbies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 67,422 Thingamabobbies, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Drug lords often avoid prison time by teaching "chemistry" classes to underprivileged youth, a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and the diplomatic corps stinks. Crime is almost non-existent. Crossory's national animal is the Mule, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crossory is ranked 68,495^th in the world and 41^st in Angelic League for Most Cultured, scoring 69 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
