The Golden Rose Sanctum of Krvava Koupel is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Rulevoy Nikolai Lansov with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, public floggings, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.157 billion Koupelians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Smutek. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Krvava Koupelian economy, worth a remarkable 1,419 trillion Lebkas a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 173,966 Lebkas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, and rabbits are known to spontaneously explode without warning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krvava Koupel's national animal is the Dire Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Divinism.

Krvava Koupel is ranked 57,813^th in the world and 2,108^th in Osiris for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,276.86 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
