The Consistently Proven Correct of Kranostav is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Most Honorable Fredrich Huber with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 19.815 billion Kranostavians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vybor. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kranostavian economy, worth a remarkable 2,986 trillion Traviks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,710 Traviks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Agricultural employees work for peanuts, dissident voters are sent on a 'relaxing break' at the Ministry of Love, one can walk from one side of Vybor to the other without setting foot on Kranostavian soil, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kranostav's national animal is the Desert Muskrat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Elder Tactedda.

Kranostav is ranked 17,831^st in the world and 740^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 298.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
