The Grand Duchy of Kriesregland is a very large, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 111 million Kriesreglandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 43.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Kriesreglandian economy, worth 4.64 trillion Kriesregish Ounces a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,768 Kriesregish Ounces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Money grows on trees, ambulances aren't allowed to overtake hearses, unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims, and only the richest get to see out of their windows. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kriesregland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kriesregland is ranked 44,202^nd in the world and 76^th in Commonwealth of Liberty for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.96 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
