The Republic of Kretsian republic is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 56 million Kretsian republicians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 50.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Kretsian republician economy, worth 2.70 trillion Mousies a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,158 Mousies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, only lightning has a chance of striking Leader twice, and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kretsian republic's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kretsian republic is ranked 93,023^rd in the world and 3^rd in Legion of the Regionless for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 103.2 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
