The United Federation of Cresr is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by James gèle with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, triple-decker prams, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.484 billion Cresrians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fjarrej. The average income tax rate is 40.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Cresrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,278 trillion Pints a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 134,777 Pints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines, and paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cresr's national animal is the Ovy's Sea wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Protestant.

Cresr is ranked 70,467^th in the world and 118^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Black Market, with 6.08 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
