The Republic of Republiqueducroissant is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maitre Croissant with an even hand, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 3.403 billion Croissantois enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Métropole du Grand Croissant. The average income tax rate is 79.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Croissantois economy, worth 331 trillion Dollar croissantiens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,471 Dollar croissantiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Croissantois tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republiqueducroissant's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Croissantisme.

Republiqueducroissant is ranked 7,898^th in the world and 370^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,807.78 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
