The Republic of NGC 3372 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning crocodile population. The quiet, industrious population of 2.985 billion NGC 3372ians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped NGC 3372ian economy, worth 64.9 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,733 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NGC 3372's national animal is the crocodile.
