The Dominion of Red Crest is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by the Grandmaster with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and smutty television. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.251 billion Crestians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Crestian economy, worth 993 trillion pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,907 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The strong are acquitted and the weak are trampled in trial by an eagle, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, tourists call Crestian beach towns "the fine coastline", and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Red Crest's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Red Crest is ranked 22,339^th in the world and 15^th in Lone Wolves United for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 4,536.55 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
