The Democratic Republic of The Crossland is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Leo Crossland with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 14.713 billion Crosslandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bizkit. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Crosslandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,116 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 211,800 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 651,970 per year while the poor average 53,155, a ratio of 12.3 to 1.

A rebrand a day keeps the debt collectors away, teenagers get their license without taking the test, air fresheners are the most popular solution to gas leaks, and the Great Crosslandian Tar Cloud can be seen from space. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crossland's national animal is the Hawk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Shadyism.

The Crossland is ranked 110,507^th in the world and 10^th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
