The Republic of Krollam is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, otherworldly petting zoo, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 3.516 billion Krollamians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.
The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Industry, with Administration, Defense, and Environment also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.1%.
The frighteningly efficient Krollamian economy, worth 701 trillion sculs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 199,447 sculs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,237,760 per year while the poor average 13,825, a ratio of 89.5 to 1.
Customers who are not the epitome of politeness always find themselves at the back of the queue, politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads, citizens are abandoning their homes en masse in a widespread panic over asbestos, and the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall'. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Krollam's national animal is the Octopus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Krollam is ranked 4,600th in the world and 96th in the Rejected Realms for Most Cultured, scoring 172 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
