The Empire of Nas Crustium is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Emperor of the Crusti with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, flagrant waste-dumping, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.915 billion Crusti are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crusticant. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Crusti economy, worth an astonishing 11,864 trillion Credits a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 852,641 Credits, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 7,957,637 per year while the poor average 8,033, a ratio of 990 to 1.

Prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments, books are considered luxuries only available to the incredibly wealthy, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, and politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nas Crustium's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Nas Crustium is ranked 332,632^nd in the world and 2,692^nd in the West Pacific for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 6.42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
