The High Athelingric of Krorda is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Asher Wiley with an iron fist, and notable for its ban on automobiles, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.706 billion Krordans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osearwynn. The average income tax rate is 90.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Krordan economy, worth a remarkable 1,418 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 162,922 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins, gay hospital patients are labelled with a pink triangle to alert staff of their substandard blood, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, and pallbearers at military funerals dive for cover when they hear the three-volley salute. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Krorda's national animal is the snow leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Adoptionism.

Krorda is ranked 115,759^th in the world and 1,028^th in Snep for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,866.22 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
