The Glorious and Serene Harmony of Kriov is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Kraceng Krumos with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.668 billion Kriovians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ekriovia. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kriovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,842 trillion krubors a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 110,723 krubors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Engine room hooch is the drink of choice among the nation's navy, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Ekriovia make great practice for foreign snipers, the nation sends criminals home to think about what they did, and rugby players that knock each other over always stop to make sure the other fellow is okay. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriov's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Kriov is ranked 130,078^th in the world and 2,251^st in The East Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 227 billion Standard Monetary Units.
