The Dominion of Crud Grium is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Lord-Ruler Iandrieon with an iron fist, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 23.112 billion Crud Griumians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crudiar City. The average income tax rate is 98.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crud Griumian economy, worth a remarkable 4,370 trillion Griesses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 189,103 Griesses, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, the bureaucratic class continues to multiply, and the gravy train is chugging along on a new track. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crud Grium's national animal is the Crudian Boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crud Grium is ranked 29,257^th in the world and 309^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,502.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
