The Dictatorship of Crona-19 is a large, orderly nation, remarkable for its digital currency, enforced nudity, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 94 million Crona-19ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Crona-19ian economy, worth 2.08 trillion cronas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 22,165 cronas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, more money is spent on policing the welfare system for abuse than on the welfare system itself, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crona-19's national animal is the retrovirus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Crona-19 is ranked 48,534^th in the world and 1^st in Region of Ethical Dictatorships for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
