The Principality of Criil is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.528 billion Criilians 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 Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reeal. The average income tax rate is 68.8%.

The powerhouse Criilian economy, worth 125 trillion Saliras a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,400 Saliras, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, every microwave and toaster is being disassembled and probed by inspectors, postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, and couples are discouraged from marrying until they can rank their partner on a scale of one to ten. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Criil's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Criil is ranked 262,234^th in the world and 819^th in The Frontier Sea for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 3,166.86 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
