The Disputed Territories of Cryptopolis is a fledgling, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, cynical population of 6 million Cryptopolisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The strong Cryptopolisian economy, worth 420 billion Eddieses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 70,007 Eddieses, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Cryptopolis's national animal is the phoenix, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Cryptopolis is ranked 140,540^th in the world and 1,255^th in the Pacific for Most Developed, scoring 56.83 on the Human Development Index.
