The Armed Republic of CR25 is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.351 billion CR25ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 86.8%.

The frighteningly efficient CR25ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,213 trillion cards a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 165,061 cards, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 501,936 per year while the poor average 42,154, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Subscribing to the Benevolence Society for Impoverished Leaders is an effective way to dodge the draft, parents are always up to speed on the latest childcare techniques, racehorses move a lot slower these days, and commercial breaks often lead to nervous breakdowns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR25's national animal is the legendary, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

CR25 is ranked 11,603^rd in the world and 808^th in Two for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
