The Sprawl of Crazy Waters is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Rider of the Ankylosauras with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.609 billion Crazy Watersians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of WIBBLE. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crazy Watersian economy, worth a remarkable 2,197 trillion Horns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,819 Horns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, the government seizes all major gold finds, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and soldiers find that home gadgets and power tools are more effective as improvised weapons than the guns they've been issued. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Crazy Waters's national animal is the Ankylosauras, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is WhateverYouWantism.

Crazy Waters is ranked 12,108^th in the world and 197^th in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 369.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
