The Osakandom of Crukz is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 735 million Osakas are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osaka. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming OSAKA economy, worth 79.3 trillion Ahs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,896 Ahs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, unshaven men are viewed with suspicion in courts of law, the jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, and the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crukz's national animal is the Osaka, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crukz is ranked 303,571^st in the world and 1,589^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
