The Kingdom of Kreuzmont is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Viktoria Rieger with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.744 billion Kreuzmontians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Küsnach. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kreuzmontian economy, worth 252 trillion Kreuzmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 67,421 Kreuzmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

A common response to government PSAs is "well, DUH, obviously", the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kreuzmont's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kreuzmont is ranked 79,592^nd in the world and 4,352^nd in Lazarus for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,249.61 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
