The Watchfires of CR-2 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ritual sacrifices, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 25.798 billion CR-2ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.6%.

The powerhouse CR-2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,800 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,795 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, father-son fishing trips have been banned, crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, and the media have begun calling the government treasury "Leader's stash". Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. CR-2's national animal is the swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

CR-2 is ranked 11,946^th in the world and 1^st in Congo River for Largest Populations, with 25.8 billion capita.
