The Commonwealth of Kronmark is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 14 million Kronmarkians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Kronmarkian economy, worth 369 billion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 26,385 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, you gots to be part of the Party to get in to the party, and serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kronmark's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Kronmark is ranked 294,993^rd in the world and 198^th in Squeaky Squeakers for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,339.28 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
