The Constitutional Monarchy of Krathorea is a large, cultured nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 116 million Krathoreans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 14.7%.

The strong Krathorean economy, worth 8.89 trillion Krathorean Shields a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 76,675 Krathorean Shields, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

No personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and the masses are surrendering their civil liberties without complaint for the sake of shopping convenience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Krathorea's national animal is the Krathorean Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Krathorea is ranked 71,291^st in the world and 241^st in the Outback for Highest Poor Incomes, with 42,152.68 Standard Monetary Units.
