The Republic of Republiqueducroissant is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Maitre Croissant with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 3.495 billion Croissantois are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Métropole du Grand Croissant. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Croissantois economy, worth 339 trillion Dollar croissantiens a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,067 Dollar croissantiens, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, kids are arrested at gunpoint for playing with toy rifles, school plays were recently banned due to concerns of child endangerment, and the Croissantois Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republiqueducroissant's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Croissantisme.

Republiqueducroissant is ranked 54,088^th in the world and 1,657^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 138.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
