The Dominion of Red Crest is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the Grandmaster with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.19 billion Crestians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crestian economy, worth 987 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,907 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by an eagle, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, tourists call Crestian beach towns "the fine coastline", and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Crest's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Red Crest is ranked 39,249^th in the world and 23^rd in Lone Wolves United for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 70.62 Effective Tax Rate.
