The Republic of Creostan is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate population of 1.368 billion Creostanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Acophis. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Creostanian economy, worth 154 trillion Cretas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 112,977 Cretas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists are forbidden to enter Native Creostanian lands, community-designed sword prostheses are becoming dangerously common, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Creostan's national animal is the Cockatiel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Creostan is ranked 10,362^nd in the world and 176^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 3,092.56 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
