The New Cruor Federation of Commodius is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Avakael with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, soft-spoken computers, and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 25.791 billion Commodians 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 medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Robline. The average income tax rate is 25.9%.

The strong Commodian economy, worth a remarkable 1,355 trillion Halicarnassuses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,556 Halicarnassuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma, and the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Commodius's national animal is the White Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Cruor.

Commodius is ranked 71,429^th in the world and 377^th in Ordo Imperialia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 611.06 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
