The Imperial Federation of Kronverg is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Karl Cunningham with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, devout population of 901 million Kronvergians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronburg. The average income tax rate is 69.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Kronvergian economy, worth 125 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 139,486 Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The Violet Mile now refers to the long line-ups that former death row inmates wait in as they transfer to maximum security prisons, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, Kronvergians incessantly needle their doctors for relief, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kronverg's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kronverg is ranked 22,790^th in the world and 345^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 260.11 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
