The Free Land of Kroda is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 2.857 billion Krodans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 42.8%.

The thriving Krodan economy, worth 218 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,491 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

There is a growing belief that consciousness is a simulated illusion within a computer-generated reality, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, hordes of gardening enthusiasts are being banished from cities nationwide, and older citizens lament over the loss of law and order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kroda's national animal is the bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kroda is ranked 92,052^nd in the world and 11^th in Encyclopaedia Metallum for Highest Average Incomes, with 76,491.06 Standard Monetary Units.
