The 4th Democratic Republic of The Crossland IV is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by President Leo Crossland IV with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.325 billion Crosslandians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stamford. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.

The all-consuming Crosslandian economy, worth 440 trillion Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 101,912 Pounds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 329,370 per year while the poor average 23,830, a ratio of 13.8 to 1.

Things are looking up for patients accidentally prescribed erectile dysfunction medication, President Leo Crossland IV's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, and children have taken to using semaphore in light of the recent mobile phone ban. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Crossland IV's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Shadyism.

The Crossland IV is ranked 150,638^th in the world and 8^th in The Conservative Democracies for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,830.35 Standard Monetary Units.
