The People's Republic of Krulsie is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 23 million ralseis love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 28.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Krulsiean economy, worth 1.14 trillion Fluwars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 49,381 Fluwars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Creative compliance measures ensure that high-ranking officials live in luxury while the country's coffers collect cobwebs, the nation's generous tax credits have brought all the film studios to the yard, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and students memorise knock-knock jokes for their mandatory twice-a-term Comedy Examinations. Crime is totally unknown. Krulsie's national animal is the Goats, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Krulsie is ranked 46,825^th in the world and 75^th in Karma for Most Cultured, scoring 73 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
